Highgate Common Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

This wonderful blend of heath and woodland covers 320 acres (129 ha) and is popular with walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. The sandy heath is gorgeous in autumn, when the purple heather is at its most vibrant, while its woodland, boasting silver birch and pedunculate oak, is a delight to explore.

The reserve is an important habitat for a wide variety of wasp and bee species. The sandy paths are pock marked with countless small holes made by ground nesting solitary bees and wasps. It is one of the best places in the country to observe these fascinating insects.
