Maulden Wood

 

Maulden Wood is an attractive mix of semi-natural broadleaf woodland, acidic grassland and conifer plantations. A waymarked walk leads visitors from the lay by on a tour through the wood.
The grasslands in the centre of the wood are managed by the Greensands Trust in partnership with the Forestry Commission, and are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for the acidic grassland and heathland interest. The northern end of the wood is also an SSSI because of its importance as one of Bedfordshire's largest remnants of ancient woodland.

How to get there:

Clophill is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: TL 075390

Maulden Wood is accessed from the Deadman's Hill lay by on the A6 adjacent to the wood.
