English: Burbage Common Burbage Common is a 200-acre Country Park and SSSI popular with birdwatchers, walkers and horseriders. It is one of the few areas of unimproved acid grassland to the south west of Leicester as a result of it being used as common grazing land since the eighteenth century Enclosure Acts. The land is managed by Hinkley and Bosworth Borough Council as Spring or Summer meadows, with either a silage or hay crop being taken. The open areas, with their regularly mown bridleways and footpaths, are bounded by ancient oak, ash and maple woodland.
