About the event

Great Wood includes probably the largest collection of wild service trees in the country, as well as fantastic stands of oak, with some trees probably more than 200 years old, making it nationally important for conservation.

Our open day is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of this ancient woodland. The session will be self-guided but our reserves team will be on hand to answer any questions about the site.
