Consisting of over 60 acres of open grass and woodland, with Pix Brook passing through it, Norton Common is the primary open space within Letchworth Garden City.

As the common is free of traffic – excepting for those on bicycle or on foot – it is home to a wide range of wildlife and is a peaceful retreat throughout the year.
