About

Billesley Common is a large open space in the south of Birmingham, characterised by its extensive grassy fields and pockets of woodland. The area serves primarily as recreational land for the surrounding residential neighbourhoods, with facilities for football and cricket. Its flat, open terrain is crossed by informal paths, making it a straightforward location for walking and dog exercise.

A notable feature is the presence of the ancient Yardley Wood, a remnant of the historic Forest of Arden, which borders the common. This woodland adds a layer of ecological interest with its older trees and undergrowth. The common's unembellished, functional nature reflects its long history as communal pasture land, providing a simple, green expanse within the urban fabric.
