Glenridding Common is owned and managed by the Lake District National Park Authority.
In May 2023 the Authority sought a long-term leaseholder for Glenridding Common. No offers were made so the Authority is now reviewing options for the future management of the common.
From 2017 to October 2023 the Authority leased the land to the John Muir Trust charity, who actively conserved and managed the common, improving the environmental quality of the land. Since October 2023, the common continues to be managed by the Lake District National Park Authority.
