Eversden and Wimpole Woods

The wooded reserve spans 67.1 hectares of land between Kingston and Orwell, featuring broad-leaved deciduous trees and dense undergrowth throughout the territory.

The site received its official designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 2003, marking a milestone in British environmental conservation efforts.

The woodland represents a vital part of Cambridgeshire's natural heritage, providing educational opportunities for local communities to learn about forest ecosystems.

Visitors can explore the woods through designated public footpaths, while being mindful that certain areas remain restricted for wildlife protection.

The forest houses a maternity colony of barbastelle bats, which use tree crevices to give birth and raise their young during summer months.
