A large area of habitat-rich heathland, woodlands and streams, Aylesbeare Common is a wonderful place for hiking. It’s an RSPB nature reserve and is buzzing with life during spring and summer, when butterflies, birds and dragonflies fill the air. Dartford warblers and nightjars are resident here along with plenty of other wonderful birdlife.

Walking here in autumn is magical thanks to the flowering heather. The common is awash in purple and the lower light casts beautiful colours across the whole area. If you’re lucky, you might glimpse a hobby flying above.
