Wiggonholt Common (1) As a regular visitor 30+ years ago, my recollection is that this was a mostly open common whereas now it is quite heavily wooded. Either the memory plays tricks or things have changed. One thing that definitely has changed is that the omnipotent RSPB is now involved and had fenced off most of the common.
