Edge Common (grid reference SO847092 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]
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 [ edit ]
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]
