Beningfield Wood

Beningfield Wood is a long narrow woodland on a steep south and west facing valley side, giving views over open country to the west towards Bridport just north of West Milton. Visitors to the wood are infrequent due to its secluded location, limited parking and challenging terrain. However those that do visit the wood are rewarded by a peaceful atmosphere and magnificent views. The wood adjoins a privately owned nature reserve to the east (owned by the Leggett Trust), managed as grassland, and is near to the Mapperton and Poorton Vales SSSI. The surrounding land is grazed.
