About this wood

Steep climbs, stunning scenery… and secret agents all form part of the unusual mix that makes Beacon Hill Wood a fascinating place to visit and popular with locals. A prominent landscape feature, visible for miles, a clump of large old beech trees at the centre form a distinctive crown on the ridge. The wood is archaeologically important with features dating back to Neolithic, Bronze Age and Roman times.
