Hiking

Owned by the City of London Corporation, Ashtead Common is part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), together with adjacent Epsom Common. In the 1870s access to countryside for Londoners was being threatened due to the expansion of the capital. The area was purchased to preserve it as an open space. You can spot the coal posts at the common's boundaries. Painted white with the City of London's crest near the top. They marked where tax would be payable to the City of London for coal imported into its boundaries.
