Approach - Hodge Hill Common is a small area of historic common land in East Birmingham. The site is semi-wild, made up predominantly of dry acid grassland (an ecologically valuable habitat which is uncommon in Birmingham) with some planted trees and colonising scrub and saplings. The Common was well used by the local community in the past as a recreation space; however in recent times it has become increasingly overgrown and somewhat less well used, though still much frequented by dog-walkers
