Crofton Wood

Crofton Wood is an ancient woodland occupying 76 hectares in the London Borough of Bromley, characterized by oak and hazel trees. The site supports fourteen sedge species and multiple habitat types that sustain varied plant and animal life.

The woodland received official designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1989. This recognition highlighted its ecological importance as a protected natural area in Greater London.

The woodland serves as a retreat for local residents seeking contact with nature within the urban environment. People come here to observe wildlife and escape the city's activity.

Multiple entry points around the woodland's perimeter allow access throughout the year for visitors. Wearing sturdy footwear is advisable as path conditions vary with the seasons and weather.

Kyd Brook runs through the woodland, creating specialized habitats where rare plants and invertebrates flourish. This waterway is crucial to the variety of species found across different zones of the forest.
