About
Chorleywood Common is a 76-hectare mix of woodland, grassland, and ponds, providing an excellent location for dog walks. Its biodiversity, including butterflies, birds, and rare plants, makes it a haven for wildlife.
The common is large, and you can plan a full circular walk or just wander along the well-marked walking paths through open fields and shady woodlands. The various routes ensure you can pick a short stroll or a longer walk to suit your energy levels.
Dog Access and Rules
Dogs are welcome year-round at Chorleywood Common. However, as a shared space used by walkers, cyclists, and wildlife enthusiasts, it’s important to keep dogs under control, especially near wildlife habitats. During nesting seasons all dogs should be kept on a short, 2m long lead during the period 1 March to 31 July inclusive.
Access and Facilities
Chorleywood Common is easily accessible via the M25, with parking available nearby. Chorleywood station, on the Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways, is a short walk from the common, making it convenient for visitors travelling by train.
