We parked in the car park next to the Jolly Farmer pub's car park. There is another car park on the opposite side of the common too on Salt Box Road. Both are free and have height barriers - didn't see a dimension but approx. 2m
Nice and flat with no real hills. Some paths were very narrow, squeezing through the ferns and brambles! Couple bridges and uneven surfaces, no stiles.
Great little pond with shallow entrance area fro dogs to have a splash and a swim.
One poo bin at the end of the pub car park
Literally starts and finishes next to a dog friendly pub, The Jolly Farmer.
The first part of the walk was trekking through some narrow overgrown woodland paths, until we found the watering hole. No room for Hank as a couple of other dogs already playing in the water but looked lovely, and we followed the path around the pond.
From there the path came out onto a private road and we navigated our way through, not really sure if we were walking on public pathways or private driveways but it did finally go into a woodland path and over a little stream.
After that you walk into the main common, which is a large and open heathland with lovely scenery. The paths walked through the heathland and back up adjacent to the train tracks back to the car park.
There were a few other dog walkers around, but wasn't busy. Beware the common is used for grazing so were cows around, and paths are used by horses although we didn't see any.
