Description:

Butterdean Wood is a charming and rare remnant of plantation woodland being restored to native woodland - a precious place for native trees to thrive in an otherwise agricultural landscape.

There are more than 5km of paths to explore, with two waymarked trails and several wildlife-themed sculptures to find. Keep an eye out as you walk for the unusual bird's nest orchid, which grows from the roots of trees during summer, and listen for the laughing call of the green woodpecker among plentiful birdsong.
