Autumn Colours at The Vyne
Greenham and Crookham Commons are at the heart of their West Berkshire Living Landscape which covers more than 27km2 of lowland heathland, ancient woodland, reedbeds, rivers and streams. Greenham and Crookham Commons on the southern edge of Newbury forms the largest area of lowland heath in West Berkshire – a fragile and threatened habitat full of very special wildlife – and is particularly important for some of Britain’s rarest ground-nesting birds, including nightjar, woodlark and lapwing. There is a café on the site run by Greenham Common Control Tower. Please visit their website for information on access and opening times. Burys Bank Road Thatcham Berkshire RG19 8DB
