Because I was facing a 10 hour drive home from Surrey yesterday, I made a point of stocking up on general outdoorsy goodness early this morning before I set off. And where better to do so than the largest National Nature Reserve in southeast England, Chobham Common.
Lowland Heath probably has equal ranking with caledonian forests as my favourite UK habitat, oddly reminiscent of Scotland with its heather, scots pine, birch and large vistas. Surrey has more than its fair share of heath, and is in fact the most wooded county in England at almost 25% of its area forested. Heaths like this, right on London's doorstep, are havens for adders, grass snakes, common and sand lizards, nightjars and the elusive Dartford Warbler. :) Amazing place.....though a shame about the M3 thundering through the middle of it :(
A moment of perfect calm in Surrey yesterday morning before the drive home to Fife :) You need moments like that before tackling the M6 ;-)
In my mind I couldnât locate the location of the recent Chobham Common fire from the aerial photos that appeared in the press and social media, nor accurately from the BBCâs drone footage of the fire damaged area, SEE HERE.
Even though weâre not now lockdown, we both donât travel as much as we used to, and my walks have become less adventurous. Thatâs changing now. Yesterday afternoon I determined to find the part of Chobham Common damaged by fire. Itâs the part to the north of the M3. The part between the Chobham Road from Sunningdale to almost the car park by its junction with Chertsey Road coming from Windlesham.
On my visit I saw how the fire had crossed the road and burned parts of Sunningdale Golf Course. Not fully dressed for walking through fire damaged heathland, which Iâve done before, as the burned wood gets everywhere on oneâs clothes, even requiring dry cleaning on marked trousers. I walked up from the small Monument car park on Chobham Road to the Monument and saw the extent of the burnt area.
I looked at the Aerial view on Google of the Common, and saw features that Iâd like to investigate further.

Hottest day of the year and there is now a wildfire going on about 6 miles away.

Dog walkers, methinks, are more used to braving all weathers than me. Dogs need their exercise and to do their business.
Dog walkers were the only people I saw on Chobham Common yesterday. On parking in the Monument Car Park, I noticed there werenât any dog doâs collection bins. Therefore, I decided to keep to the paths â not wanting to tread in the stuff.
Naturally, I walked up to The Victoria Monument, and studied it and itâs description board before heading off on a narrow track that ended near the railway line. I was secretly pleased that I couldnât venture further in a straight line. Time to return to the warmth at home.
I will return there, as the walk affords splendid heathland views, and variety, as they say, is the spice of life. Here are my photos, which I know some of you like me to add.

Your intrepid blogger revisited the site this afternoon â at Albury Bottom â of the film being shot on Chobham Common â yâknow the one I wrote about HERE.
I asked what was being filmed, of one of the helpful crew removing the film props. Came back the answer, âa scene in the A. A. Milne [Winnie the Pooh author] biopic when he was in the First World War Battle of the Sommeâ. He continued, to my noticing that the trees were burned, âit was their job to set fire to them, as part of the filmâ. Also, I found out that the film is being shot by Pinewood Studios, that Rangers from Surrey Wildlife Trust were on hand during the set construction and filming, and theyâd got another film war film in production that needed burnt trees. Amazing what you can learn by asking questions.
The Independent has a First look at Margot Robbie and Domhnall Gleeson in biopic on Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne.
Meanwhile, here are my photos of the site clean-up in progress.
