Cowleaze
 

This wood is set high in the Chiltern Hills with amazing views over the surrounding countryside. There is a great mix of habitats in this small wood and plenty of paths to explore. The bluebells in May are like a blue carpet and well worth a visit.
Due to a lack of funding, the successful collaboration with the Sculpture Trust has come to an end. The sculptures are currently being removed from the woodland by the Sculpture Trust.

How to get there:

Stokenchurch is the nearest town or village.
