Ebernoe Common NNR (West Sussex)
Grid ref. SU 976 278
Meeting place: Car park next to Ebernoe church.

Ebernoe Common is one of the country's finest ancient mixed woodlands, with a long and rich history, including brick-making (a fine restored kiln and brickshed are well worth a visit). It has a very large fungus list, including some extremely rare species. In a good year it is hard to walk through the woodland withour treading on specimens. In other years, very few specimens can be found, so, as always, it a matter of luck.
The wood can get very wet and muddy in places so good waterproof footwear is essential.

Directions: From A283, 3.5miles North of Petworth, 1.5 miles south of Northchapel,turn East into minor road signposted Ebernoe. 1.5 miles, along this road turn right, just past telephone and post boxes, into access road signposted
Ebernoe church.
