Christchurch Commoners, who have to be residents of Twynham or Portfield Wards and pay council tax, may graze animals here from Lammas to Candlemas (May-Feb). The maximum number allowed is 12 cattle, excluding bulls, or 6 horses/donkeys/mules. Difficult to tell in such a flat landscape, but the marsh may be over-populated. Also popular with swans. Taken from Marsh House looking towards the Avon.
