Edge Common (grid reference SO847092) is a 20.47-hectare (50.6-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974.[1][2]
The Common is in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[1]
Flora
The site is unimproved Jurassic limestone grassland. This is the type of grassland which was prevalent in the Cotswolds, and the site represents a good example. The grasses include Tor Grass, Upright Brome and there are typical calcareous herbs present. There is an area of Beech woodland, and Birch scrub, with scattered disused quarries.[1]
Invertebrates
It is a noted site for butterflies, particularly the Cotswold blues and the Duke of Burgundy. Grazing regimes are being managed to support this.[1][3]
