Hampstead Heath Woods, Ancient woodland in Hampstead, London, Great Britain.

The 16.6-hectare woodland contains a diverse canopy of sessile oak and beech trees, creating a natural habitat within London's urban environment.

Archaeological findings indicate human presence in the Hampstead Heath area dating back to 7000 BC, with documented records starting from 986 AD.

The woodland serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local flora, fauna, and conservation through organized nature programs.

Walking trails throughout North Wood and Ken Wood provide access to observe native wildlife, ancient trees, and seasonal changes in vegetation.

The woodland houses the nationally rare jewel beetle Agrilus pannonicus among its extensive collection of dead wood and mature trees.
