Northaw Great Wood, Site of Special Scientific Interest and Country Park near Cuffley, England
The woodland spans 223 hectares and contains a mix of oak, birch, and hornbeam trees alongside streams, springs, and natural glades.
The area formed part of an extensive forest before the Norman conquest and was later owned by Norman Barons during the 11th and 12th centuries.
The woodland served as common land for local residents who used it for livestock grazing and collected wood fuel through traditional pollarding methods.
Visitors can access the park from The Ridgeway road in Cuffley, where they will find parking facilities and public restrooms.
The site contains one of the largest concentrations of ancient hornbeam woodland in Hertfordshire, with management plans focusing on oak regeneration.
