Ancient Common Lands in Soham
The Parish of Soham has over 50 miles of
public rights of way, the town also has to its credit three unique
commons as well as Horse Fens and Charity Lands which are all
derived from strip farming methods and land rights that go back to
the medieval period, the Commons are still protected by law and are
not allowed to have developments built on them. They are not known
to exist in quite the same way as they do in Soham anywhere else in
the country.
