Mulbarton Common
Summary
Mulbarton Common is a large triangular common located 6 miles south of Norwich. This is a registered common extending to 19 Hectares of open land. It was once used for grazing. Today it is used for recreation and sports activities.
We help manage the common in partnership with the Parish Council.

Further information
The area has stayed more or less unchanged from that shown on Faden’s Map of Norfolk of 1797, and has probably been maintained as open grassland with ponds since the middle ages.
The grassland would have been managed by grazing livestock, and cattle grazed the common into the 1940’s.
Today the open grassland nature of the common is maintained by regular mowing. Further to this, a proportion of the Common is managed for the amenity value it provides for the local community.
