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 have now left Cleeve Common
Please remember, as this is a cherished conservation area, we kindly ask you to pick up after your dog. Bins are located throughout the Common and at all car parks.
Pregnant sheep remain in the neighbouring fields, so please stay alert near our boundaries. Remember, your dogs should be kept under close control at all times and should never be allowed to run out of sight or chase other users of the Common.
Enjoy your winter walkies!
