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.
