Cleeve Common
Site of Special Scientific Interest
Cleeve Common is the largest common in the Cotswolds National Landscape. It is also the highest point on the Cotswolds at 330m. The Common is a conservation area and Site of Special Scientific Interest for its geology, habitats and botany and it contains a wealth of archaeological interest, including three Scheduled Monuments. It is looked after by Cleeve Common Trust, a small charity with the vision that:
“In 100 years’ time, Cleeve Common will offer visitors the same sense of space, tranquility and diversity of plant and wildlife as it does today.”
Our website holds a wealth of information about who we are, what we do, events, activities, things to see, ecology, conservation, education and much more. We have quick links below to some of our most popular pages.
Sheep Status
Three lost lambs still on the Common
Most of the ewes and lambs have been removed from the Common. However there are three lambs left, who missed the round up and are hiding!
We need your help to find them. If you see one please let the Rangers know ASAP on 07756 828 458 ideally with a What3Words location.
Dog walkers, please be extra vigilant as these lambs won’t be obvious. Cattle on the Common year round in their fenceless paddock. All dogs must be on short leads around livestock. Remember laws against livestock worrying have been strengthened. Details can be found here.
