Henley Common is a small area of common land on the southern edge of Chichester in West Sussex, England. It provides open grassland and scrub typical of the chalk landscape, with pleasant walks and views towards the South Downs and the low-lying coast around Chichester Harbour.
Historically used for grazing and local rights, the common now plays a quiet but valuable social and ecological role, popular with dog walkers and nature lovers and supporting wildflowers and butterflies; its proximity to Chichester means it forms part of the city’s mix of rural, historic and tourism-related activity and is often cared for by local conservation volunteers.
