Odiham Common is a beautiful amenity enjoyed by people throughout the district and beyond. The Common is one of the few examples of wood pasture outside the New Forest and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
It now consists of 284 acres of wood pasture, meadow and common land and was designated an SSSI in 1992 on account of the rare flora and fauna found there. It is a joint SSSI with the adjoining Bagwell Green and Shaw, which used to form part of Winchfield Common. The two commons run side by side along the route of Wilks Water, the stream which separates them. Odiham Common was historically referred to as Holnhurst or Holmhurst, or on Godson's map of 1739.
