Godmanchester Eastside Common is a 29.7-hectare (73-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Godmanchester in Cambridgeshire.[1][2] The site is registered common land.[3]
There are two fields, with a disused railway line separating them. The habitats are calcareous loam and calcareous clay, both of which are unusual, and there are diverse grass species, such as crested hair-grass and meadow oat grass. The southern field has lines of medieval ridge and furrow.[4]
There is access from Common Lane.
