Swineshead Wood, Protected woodland in Swineshead, Bedfordshire, England
The 21.6-hectare forest features wet woodland sections with pedunculate oak and ash trees growing alongside abundant bluebells and dog's mercury in clay soil.
Swineshead Wood received its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1985, marking a significant step in protecting its biological diversity.
