West Woods
 

West Woods consists almost entirely of beech trees and becomes very popular in late spring due to the fantastic displays of bluebells which carpet the forest floor.

How to get there:

West Woods is part of Marlborough Woodlands. Marlborough is the nearest town or village.

Via M4, at junction 15 take the A346 to Marlborough and then the A345 towards Amesbury. Approximately four miles outside Marlborough, just past the left hand turning to Clench Common, take the next right hand turn, follow road around to right for approx 1/2 mile. The woods are signposted off this road on the left hand side.
