Site description

Kenley Common is a 56Ha (139acre) public open space in the North Downs Natural Area and it is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (Metropolitan grade) for its grassland habitats. With its mosaic of chalk, neutral and acid grasslands as well as ancient woodland and scrub, this site provides a fantastic home for wildlife.
Kenley Common surrounds Kenley Airfield owned by the MOD and used by the RAF for glider training. The Common holds seven World War II fighter pens, which together are a Scheduled Monument, and the completeness of the airfield makes this a site of national historical significance.
