Bisham Woods, Wald im Vereinigten Königreich
Bisham Woods is a local nature reserve covered with tall trees, open spaces, and winding paths for walking and exploring. The woodland includes mixed sections with broadleaf and conifer trees, grassy clearings, flowering plants in spring, and fungi in autumn.
The woods were once part of large estates owned by the Earls of Salisbury and shaped local history for centuries. The Woodland Trust took over management in 1990 to protect the ancient trees, rare plants, and the Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Bisham Woods has been a gathering place for generations where families build memories and local people feel connected to the landscape. Today visitors come to play, walk quietly, and teach children about living things found among the trees and clearings.
The woods are free to enter and open year-round with parking available at the Quarry Wood Road entrance. Paths suit walking and cycling, though muddy conditions in wet months mean visiting on drier days keeps the ground firmer and easier to cross.
An old ice house from the 1760s sits hidden in the woods, once used to store ice for preserving food at the nearby abbey. A medieval stone quarry inside the forest provided materials for building Windsor Castle, one of England's most famous castles.
