Adders

Adders are present on this Common and are generally active from March to September. If left undisturbed, i.e. If there is no attempt to pick them up or interfere with them they are not likely to cause any harm.  If you have small children or a dog with you it is  advisable to keep to the paths and to keep the dogs on the lead, especially small breeds.

NB: Adders are a protected species
