St Helen's Wood, Local nature reserve and woodland in Hastings, United Kingdom.
The 34.6-hectare St Helen's Wood combines ancient gill woodland, lowland meadows, and freshwater ponds at the foot of the High Weald.
Many trees within St Helen's Wood, including Ash, Beech, Oak, and Yew specimens, date back to the Napoleonic period of the early 1800s.
Local schools regularly conduct educational trips to the woodland, teaching students about ecology, conservation, and environmental preservation techniques.
Visitors can access multiple designated walking paths throughout the reserve from St Helen's Wood Road, with signs and maps available for navigation.
The reserve contains over 100 plant species, including broad-leaved helleborines and green-winged orchids, which are decreasing across other UK regions.
