A Registered Common found just to the south of the town centre on the A3100 road to Godalming.  12 hectares of predominantly wet woodland bounded by the road to the east and railway to the west.  One private property and a pond sit towards the centre of the site.

Access/furniture
Public footpaths and tracks dissect the site throughout and in general the area has unrestricted access.  A surfaced path allows access throughout the woodland.  Some parking is available next to the village green and at the top of Tilthams Corner Road just before the Citroen Garage.

Habitat
The woodland offers an interesting mosaic of habitats from high forest to scrub and water features.  Predominantly oak woodland with smaller area of important willow wet woodland.  Certain areas are liable to be flooded during the winter months; some of the oak component is also under water some 4 months of the year.  The pond was re-landscaped in 2006.  It was planted with marginal aquatic plants set in coir rolls.

Management
Trees along footpaths cut regularly, tree work reactive.  Regular consultation with Shalford Parish Council.
