Broxbourne Woods, Natural reserve in Hertfordshire, England
Broxbourne Woods is a woodland area in Hertfordshire where paths wind through mixed forest dominated by oak, ash, and hornbeam trees. The trails take you through varied terrain shaped by these mature trees and their undergrowth.
The woods date to medieval times when they served as a timber resource for the region. Over the centuries they supported local industries and community needs for wood and forest products.
The Woodland Trust manages these woods as part of their mission to protect and maintain native British forest environments.
The trails are marked and lead to parking areas near the main entrances where information is available. Maps and guidance are easy to find at the entry points.
Sections of the forest show distinctive growth patterns from hornbeam trees that were traditionally managed through coppicing. This historic woodland practice remains visible in how these trees grow today.
