About

Fareham Common is a large open space of grassland and woodland situated to the west of the town centre. It serves as a significant recreational area with marked footpaths, a children's play area, and sports facilities including football pitches and a bowling green. The common is bordered by residential streets and the A27 road, integrating it into the fabric of the local community.

The area is characterised by its mix of habitats, with patches of gorse scrub and mature trees scattered across the open fields. A notable feature is the presence of Fareham Creek, a tidal inlet that forms the common's southern boundary, influencing the low-lying land. This creates a transition from the managed parkland to a more natural, estuarine edge.
