Sharphill Wood

The wood is 9.6 ha (23.73 acres) in size and is a mixed broadleaved woodland, with oak and ash being the dominant tree species. The woodland has been designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) in recognition of its botanical and zoological interest which includes, amongst others, a number of woodland wildflowers, birds and mammals.

The woodland occurs on heavy red clay soils with a small portion of sand and gravel to the most north westerly corner of the wood.

The oldest record of the wood discovered to date shows the southern-most portion only, in existence in 1835. By 1887 the wood appears, in its present shape and size, on an Ordnance Survey map
There's usually plenty of space to park here and follow the track(s) up to the wood. Take care when driving away, as cars approach quickly!!
