A tale of two commons
A circular walk from Cranham via Jack’s Green taking in Sheepscomb and Cranham commons.
The walk commences in Cranham and heads south generally descending through pleasant countryside. It then follows the Wysis way for a short section before reaching Jack’s Green. A short descent leads to Sheepscombe. From that point the way ascends via Sheepscombe common and Lords Wood to Saltridge Hill. The final section ascends through very fine Beech wood to Cranham common. Photo: David Fabbro
