Gamsey Wood, Nature reserve near Ramsey, England
Gamsey Wood spans across 4 hectares where clay uplands meet the Fenland Basin, featuring trails through dense woodland and seasonal wildflowers.
During Saxon times, Gamsey Wood formed part of a larger ancient forest system alongside Lady's Wood and Raveley Wood in the Cambridgeshire region.
The wild service trees in the wood produced berries that local residents traditionally fermented into a beverage called chequers.
Access to the reserve requires following a 150-meter grass track from Raveley Road through Keeler farm to reach the entrance at the northeast corner.
The reserve supports populations of white-letter hairstreak butterflies and white-spotted pinion moths, which depend on the local elm trees for survival.
