Selsdon Wood, Local nature reserve in Selsdon, United Kingdom.

Selsdon Wood spans 200 acres with woodland paths, open meadows, and ponds, providing natural habitats for diverse wildlife species and plant varieties.

The National Trust acquired this ancient woodland, previously owned by the Archbishops of Canterbury, and established it as a nature reserve in 1936.

The Friends of Selsdon Wood group organizes nature walks, maintains educational QR-code walking posts, and documents local flora and fauna throughout the reserve.

Visitors can access the reserve through the main entrance on Old Farleigh Road, where a free car park includes designated spaces for disabled visitors.

A large bear statue greets visitors at the car park entrance, created by a local tree surgeon for the Country Fair events of the 1980s.
