Southampton Common

Southampton Common is the largest open space in the City boundaries (326 acre site). It is a haven for flora and fauna and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), with the inclusion of the Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre which gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the local ecology and wildlife.

 

This is a popular location for charitable runs and walks, home of the Easter and August Fairs and in 2014 Let's Rock Southampton music event.
