Location:
Leigh Common and neighbouring Bytheway Field provide a well used recreation facility for the people of Wimborne and Colehill. Historically Leigh Common was used as a holding area by cattle traders on their way to Wimborne Market. Bytheway Field is East Dorset's first SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space). SANGs are designed to offer a purpose-built outdoor recreation facility. This area is largely cut for hay in the summer. Local facilities are available in both Wimborne and Colehill, and there is easy road access to Wimborne town centre.

From Wimborne, proceed east along Leigh Road, continuing ahead at the crossroads with Avenue Road and St Johns Hill. As you are leaving the town, turn left into Northleigh Lane, and immediately right into the unmade lane leading to Leigh Common. Number 2 is the second property on the left.
