Maulden Wood, Protected forest in Bedfordshire, England
Maulden Wood spans 148.8 hectares of semi-natural broadleaf woodland on the greensand ridge between Leighton Buzzard and Gamlingay.
The northern section of Maulden Wood contains archaeological evidence from Roman and Iron Age settlements along Limbersey Lane and Limbersey Farm.
This natural reserve maintains its status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its ecological diversity and environmental research opportunities.
Visitors can access the woodland through multiple entry points, including the Deadman's Hill layby on the A6 and from Maulden Church Meadow.
The forest houses the rare Wild Service Tree Sorbus torminalis and the mollusc Limax cinereoniger, indicators of undisturbed ancient woodland.
