Twenty years ago, Hambledon Common lay overgrown and forgotten before being pruned back to its former glory. The common's landscape was transformed centuries ago through the extraction of sand which was used in building and glassmaking. Archaeologists discovered flint tools on the site dating back to Neolithic and Mesolithic eras.

Until the start of the 20th century, the common was used to graze cattle amongst the heather. Today, you can find three heather flower varieties between July and September, as well as woodlark birds and rare sand lizards.
