About Bourne Woods

Bourne Wood is a quiet ancient woodland with mixed conifers and semi-natural broadleaf trees. There is a car park and picnic area. Visitors can walk up to the ponds where kingfishers and herons can often be seen. The wood is being gradually restored to native broadleaf woodland under the 'Ancient Woodland Project'. The Friends of Bourne Wood help to look after the wood and organise regular events throughout the year. There are also regular work parties carried out by Bourne Green Gym, in conjunction with the Hereward Practice.

How to get there:

Bourne Woods is part of Kesteven Forest. Bourne is the nearest town or village.

On foot the woods can be accessed from Beech Avenue, Bourne. By road a car park is signposted off of the A151 half a mile west of Bourne.
