Hamble Common
Hamble Common and Copse is one of the few remaining coastal heathland sites in Hampshire; 55 acres of coastal heath at the end of the Hamble Peninsula
Much of Hamble Common is a site of special scientific interest due to its wide range of habitats including coastal heath, woodland, saltmarsh and mudflats. Many coastal birds like shelduck, oystercatchers and ringed plovers visit the area making it an ideal spot for wildlife photographers.
