Hodgemoor

(Average user rating5 unrated 5/5)
 
Much of the central area of this 90 hectare woodland is of ancient origin, with records of its existence dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Surrounding this ancient core, secondary semi-natural woodland of the 18th, 19th and 20th century has developed. The wide range of soil types and its mixed history has resulted in Hodgemoor possessing an extensive variety of woodland trees and shrubs, making it an excellent site for wildlife and an interesting place to visit.

How to get there:

Chalfont St. Giles is the nearest town or village.

Turn off the A355 between Amersham and Beaconsfield into Bottrells Lane which lies behind a lay-by opposite the Harte & Magpie Public House. The car park is 1 mile along this road on the right hand side.
