Marley Common is a mixed broadleaf woodland and open heathland with lots of trails to explore. The common was used as an army training ground in the Second World War. During the 1950s and 1960s, a series of devastating fires ravaged the common. However, after much conservation work and the introduction of Galloway cattle, Marley is returning to its former glory. The common is in the care of the National Trust.
