A guide to exploring 380 of the most scenic, wildlife-rich and historically significant woodlands in England.
From precious remnants of temperate rainforests to lesser-known wildwoods and urban copses, English woodlands offer places of sanctuary for both wildlife and people.
In this practical guide, woodland expert Gabriel Hemery brings together the beauty, purpose, history and wildlife of some of the most extraordinary woodland sites in England, from the largest (covering thousands of hectares) to the smallest copse of just a handful of trees and everything in-between. Some woods are havens for rare wildlife such as hazel dormouse and pine marten. Others offer opportunities to explore archaeological features and discover England's hidden histories.
The book is divided into eight regions, each beginning with a summary of its woodland heritage. The 380 site entries contain details of ownership, designation, area, forest type, precise access details (including grid reference, post code and what3words reference) and a description of key features of interest.
With clear regional maps and hundreds of remarkable photographs showcasing England's plants, animals and landscapes, this is an essential book for adventurers, ramblers and wildlife enthusiasts. Wherever you may be in England, with this guide you will never be far from a fascinating forest site.
