About

A remnant of an ancient lowland heath which used to stretch for over 15 miles, Highgate Common is packed full of amazing wildlife. The Common is home to more than 5,000 species of insects, including 140 different types of bees and wasps. The truly incredible amount of wildlife on site means there will be something to interest everybody. The all-new 'Mini Monsters of Highgate Common' trails are also great fun for kids.
