Historically Leigh Common was used as a holding area by cattle traders on their way to Wimborne Market. Bytheway Field is East Dorset's first SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space).

SANGs are designed to offer a purpose-built outdoor recreation facility. This area is largely cut for hay in the summer.

Local facilities are available in both Wimborne and Colehill, and there is easy road access to Wimborne town centre.
