Cleeve Common is the largest common in the Cotswolds National Landscape. It is also the highest point on the Cotswolds at 330m. The Common is a conservation area and Site of Special Scientific Interest for its geology, habitats and botany and it contains a wealth of archaeological interest, including three Scheduled Monuments. It is looked after by Cleeve Common Trust, a small charity with the vision that:
“In 100 years’ time, Cleeve Common will offer visitors the same sense of space, tranquility and diversity of plant and wildlife as it does today.”
Our website holds a wealth of information about who we are, what we do, events, activities, things to see, ecology, conservation, education and much more. We have quick links below to some of our most popular pages.
