Ruislip Woods, Ancient forest in Ruislip, United Kingdom
Ruislip Woods spans 726 acres of natural woodland, featuring a network of paths through dense oak and hornbeam forests in Greater London.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered Bronze Age settlements within the woods, including a barbed spearhead discovered in 1984.
The woods supplied timber for notable constructions such as the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, and the Great Barn at Manor Farm.
Access to Ruislip Woods is available through Reservoir Road, with designated parking areas and public transportation connections nearby.
The site became the first National Nature Reserve in an urban setting in England when it received this designation in May 1997.
