Lady Park Wood National Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, United Kingdom
Lady Park Wood stretches along 45 hectares of the Wye Valley, containing ancient broadleaved woodland with diverse tree species including beech, oak, and lime.
The woodland belonged to the Hall family estate from High Meadow House in the 1580s before being sold to Viscount Gage in 1719 and the Crown in 1817.
The reserve operates as the United Kingdom's primary research site for studying natural woodland development, with continuous monitoring since its establishment in 1944.
Visitors must arrange access in advance and can reach the reserve from Fiddlers Elbow Woods or Symonds Yat Rock, with closest facilities available in Monmouth.
The woodland hosts thirty nationally scarce plant species, including sword-leaved helleborine, and provides essential roosting sites for greater and lesser horseshoe bats.
