Description:

These woods are a fine mix of oak, ash and beech with areas of hornbeam and hazel coppice.

The wood is a fragment of the old 'Wildwood' that once covered much of southern England.

English Nature believe the land where the present Staffhurst Wood stands has remained continuously wooded since Saxon times, so Staffhurst can be truly regarded as an Ancient Woodland.

In addition to the fine trees found here, Staffhurst also contains a very interesting woodland pond.
