Combe Hill Wood

Combe Hill Wood is made up of 62 acres of beautiful managed woodland, open to the public and with a diverse range of habitats. The wood has been a mixed site of woodland, wood pasture, grazed calcareous grassland and scrub for several hundred years with trees of all ages and very many species. One area of semi-natural oak woodland has been there since 1822 and has developed a rich variety of lichen, ferns and invertebrates in the deadwood.

Throughout the wood there are a number of simple map boards and information boards explaining the woodland management techniques and identifying some of the flora and fauna to be found.
