Enville Common is a picturesque woodland area located in Staffordshire, England. Covering approximately 400 acres, it is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse range of flora and fauna. The common is situated within the Enville Estate, which has been owned by the same family for over 700 years.

The woodland itself is a mix of ancient oak and beech trees, creating a dense and lush canopy that provides a habitat for numerous species. Bluebells and wild garlic carpet the forest floor during the spring months, creating a stunning display of color and fragrance. Enville Common is also home to a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and buzzards, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

In addition to its natural wonders, Enville Common has a rich history. The area was once part of the Royal Forest of Kinver, and remnants of ancient boundaries and earthworks can still be seen today. The common has also played a role in local folklore, with tales of mythical creatures and hidden treasures adding to its mystique.

Enville Common is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering numerous walking trails and bridlepaths. Visitors can explore the woodland on foot or horseback, taking in the serene surroundings and enjoying the tranquility of nature. The common is managed by the Enville Estate and is open to the public year-round, providing a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of Staffordshire's woodlands.

Public bridleway through Million Wood, near Enville The public bridleway which runs through the heart of this large wood, is the only route which the public can use. There are no other public rights of way, nor is it access land. Forestry operations are undertaken in the wood, so it is probably safest to stick to the correct route!
