About

Billericay Tye Common is a designated Local Nature Reserve situated on the northern edge of Basildon. The area comprises a mix of open grassland, scattered scrub, and woodland, providing a significant green space within the urban district. Its landscape is shaped by historical common land use, which has influenced the flora and fauna found there today. The common supports a variety of wildlife, including bird species and invertebrates that thrive in this habitat.

The site features a network of informal footpaths used by walkers and dog owners. A specific and notable aspect is the presence of ancient hedgerows that demarcate parts of the common, some of which are believed to be medieval in origin. Management of the grassland involves seasonal grazing to maintain its ecological value. This creates a changing mosaic of vegetation throughout the year, contributing to the area's character as a quiet, semi-natural retreat.
