Not drastically different from Image], but a little more growth and a few more hints of autumn. This sort of landscape is not typical of West Sussex, most of which is clay or chalk. Lavington Common is an example of 'Sub-Atlantic' lowland heath, with heather, bracken and Scots pines. It is owned by the National Trust, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The site supports an outstanding community of spiders, and the heaviest spider to have been caught in Britain was found here, an orb weaver weighing 2.25g. Information partly from English Nature.
