    Northwest section of the Common is known as Danes Hills, so named because it is believed that this is where the where the Viking army buried their dead after their defeat at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

    If you are lucky, you may see some long-horn cattle roaming around. Not sure which farm they belong to, but there are signs warning dog-walkers that cattle are roaming, so they haven't strayed here by accident.
