Gamlingay Wood, Nature reserve in Cambridgeshire, England.
Gamlingay Wood is a nature reserve in Cambridgeshire that features a diverse mix of oak, ash, and field maple trees growing across different soil types. The woodland provides habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species throughout its protected area.
The woodland has been continuously present for more than a thousand years and once provided local communities with building materials and firewood. This long history of use shaped the landscape and established its importance as a natural area.
Traditional woodland management practices such as coppicing continue at Gamlingay Wood, maintaining historical techniques for wood production and conservation.
The reserve is accessible via a permissive path from Long Lane, and parking is available nearby. The ground can become muddy in wet weather, so sturdy walking shoes are advisable.
The site hosts hundreds of mushroom and toadstool species thanks to its varied soil conditions. This biological diversity makes it a special place for those interested in fungi.
