Update on dog bins at Ludshott Common

Due to the huge increase of dog walkers using Ludshott Common in the past year, we have struggled to keep up with the disposal of dog waste left in our bins. Emptying the bins incurs huge costs, which is still not keeping up with demand. As a charity we have limited funds for waste disposal, so as a result, the dog waste bins on Ludshott Common will be removed at the end of September 2021. Please help us to keep this special place beautiful by taking your dog waste home with you. Thank you. If you have any questions please get in touch by email selborneandludshott@nationaltrust.org.uk

Things to see and do

Close up of mountain bike wheels on grass — Cyclists must stick to bridleways and permissive tracks on Ludshott common

Update on cycling

Mountain bikes are only permitted on bridleways and permissive tracks at Ludshott Common. We know how important it is to find fresh air and relaxation but we ask people not cycle on footpaths or create new trails. Any structures on a SSSI, such as jumps or ramps, need permission from Natural England, so we will have to remove them. The best way to check where you can cycle is by looking at an Ordinance Survey map and finding the green dashed lines showing a bridleway.
