Brampton Wood, Nature reserve in Huntingdonshire, England.
The 132-hectare forest contains wide paths through stands of oak, ash, field maple, and birch trees, forming the second largest ancient woodland in Cambridgeshire.
Records of Brampton Wood date back to the Domesday Book from 900 years ago, with forestry operations by the Ministry of Defence continuing until 1992.
The Wildlife Trust organizes monthly conservation work sessions on the second Sunday, enabling local residents to participate in woodland management activities.
Located 1.5 miles west of Brampton village, the reserve offers free entry and includes a parking area off Brampton Road, accessible via postcode PE28 0DB.
The forest supports colonies of black hairstreak butterflies, among Britain's rarest species, and maintains a population of hazel dormice reintroduced in 1992.
