About Lindow Common
- Did you know that Lindow Common in Wilmslow features one of the world’s most threatened habitats?
- The importance of Lindow’s heathland is such that it has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Local Nature Reserve (LNR).
- As well as areas of heather, visitors can appreciate the other habitats, which add to the Common’s richness – a fringe of woodland, wet mires and Black Lake.
- A surfaced path offers easy access to Black Lake and informal paths criss-cross the site.
- To find out more about the site, how it is managed and the latest site news please see the Lindow Common activities and information page.
