A very pleasant place for a walk, combining both wooded and open areas. There are a few parking areas although they are limited in size.

I used to love walking here as a child. 45 years later, it has barely changed. It's a beautiful place, with wooded areas as well as open spaces. It's also part of a golf course, but walkers and players coexist easily. It's amazing to find such a large tranquil space within 5 minutes of the M25

Huge area for walking and a bit of hiking. Well maintained forest and plenty of grass areas for picnics. There's also golf club open for public, you can pay to play across the road from the car park. Car park is free, but Mob-Fri between 11am and 3pm you have to display ticket. Pubs all around is also a plus. The only little minus is that you can hear M25.

Good parking all around the Common. Large area to walk. One pub in the Common and three others a very short walking distance away. Chainsaw carving on a few dead and fallen trees is a great touch. Nice looking café has just opened behind the cricket clubhouse. Relaxing to sit and watch the cricket on a weekend too.

Wonderful place to wander, with or without a dog! Located on the A404 on your left as you are coming out of Rickmansworth towards Amersham on one side and just a few hundred yards from Chorleywood Metropolitan and Chiltern Line station on the other, also nestled on the end of the lovely Chorleywood Village and amazingly just a few hundred yards away from junction 18 of the M25, this extensive and open common is a great spot to stretch out from the day to day hustle and bustle of the nearby suburbia. With plenty of trees and woodland areas, and a pond, there is enough cover and variation to get some dappled shade in the hot summer days and mix up your walks. There are bridleways to follow that give you a chance to see horses being ridden and some amazing views. On occasion, there are little hamlets of country cottages and traditional terraced properties and these even include a couple of pubs. All in all a great place to visit and you can drop down into the village itself afterwards, where you’ll find plenty of places to eat and get a coffee. I keep coming back for more and all that is missing for me is the dog and, who knows, that may even get corrected sooner or later!
