While Wimbledon Common doesn't feature a traditional summit, its highest points offer delightful views and often have markers explaining local wildlife.
The common is composed primarily of clay, although it features areas of gravel and sand. This unique combination provides a rich habitat for flora, particularly heather and gorse.
On clear days, you can see the iconic skyline of London, including the Shard and the London Eye peeping over the treetops.
The name 'Wimbledon' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'Wimmeldun', meaning 'Wimel's Hill'.
Historically, Wimbledon Common has been significant for its role in hay making and grazing livestock, also serving as a battleground during the English Civil War.
This gentle circular path takes you through the scenic areas of Wimbledon Common, perfect for a leisurely stroll with plenty of stops for a jam sandwich.
There are several car parks available, including the ones off Richmond Road and Parkside.
Wimbledon Station serves rail and tram links, while several bus routes connect directly to the common.
The common features several cafes, including the renowned Windmill Café, and public toilets can be found at key locations.
