Hangman's Wood, Protected woodland in Thurrock, England
The 3-hectare woodland contains various tree species including oak, ash, sycamore, and wild cherry, forming a dense canopy throughout the area.
Medieval chalk mining activities in Hangman's Wood created numerous deneholes, with records of the site's name dating back to the mid-17th century.
Local residents maintain strong connections to the woodland through organized conservation efforts and environmental education programs focused on preserving natural heritage.
Access to the woodland is available through marked walking trails, while entry to the deneholes requires specific permission from local council authorities.
The deneholes serve as winter hibernation sites for three bat species: brown long-eared bat, Natterer's bat, and Daubenton's bat.
