Hartlebury Common and Hillditch Coppice are a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest which covers an area of 90.2 hectares (229 acres). [1][2][3] The common supports many varieties of wild plants and insects, especially butterflies and moths.[4] Hartlebury Common and Hillditch Pool are a Local Nature Reserve.[5][6]

The geological and geomorphological significance of the area has been recognised for many years with 13 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and 179 Local Geological Sites (LGS) present.[11] The Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark is one of only seven geoparks in the UK.[12]

Archaeology

Hartlebury Common supports a range of archaeological remains including stone revetted banks, historic trackways (or 'holloways'), post-medieval quarries and pools that contain paleoenvironmental deposits and the site of a 19th-century rifle range.[13] There is also evidence of a large circular embanked enclosure on the common which may have been a signalling post, hunting lodge, small ringwork castle or religious site.
