Ashton Wold, Scientific interest site in Northamptonshire, England
The 54-hectare woodland area contains mature oak, ash, and birch trees, forming a secondary forest with a varied shrub understory.
The Ashton Estate, which includes this scientific site, was acquired in 1860 by banker Lionel de Rothschild and later managed by Charles Rothschild.
During World War II, the estate transformed into a hospital for wounded soldiers and provided housing for RAF personnel and American troops.
Visitors can access the protected natural area through Lutton Road and explore the woodland through designated walking paths.
The site maintains specific ecological conditions that support woodcocks and hawfinches, making it valuable for bird observation and research.
