Tucking Mill Hanging is a woodland area located in Wiltshire, England. It is situated near the village of Tucking Mill and covers an approximate area of 50 acres. The hanging refers to the sloping nature of the woodland, which is positioned on a steep hillside.

The woodland consists predominantly of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash. These trees create a dense canopy that provides shelter and habitat for a variety of wildlife species. The forest floor is covered with a rich carpet of ferns, wildflowers, and mosses, creating a vibrant and diverse ecosystem.

Tucking Mill Hanging is known for its scenic beauty, with picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area and enjoy peaceful walks amidst nature. The trails vary in difficulty, catering to both casual strollers and more adventurous hikers.

The woodland holds historical significance as well. It was once part of a larger estate owned by the Tucking Mill Manor, dating back to the medieval period. Today, remnants of old boundary walls and ditches can still be seen within the woodland, providing a glimpse into its past.

Tucking Mill Hanging is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking tranquility. Its natural beauty, diverse flora and fauna, and historical elements make it an attractive and fascinating location for visitors to Wiltshire.

A lane into the estate The view is along Top Lane, which is in the Stourhead estate. There is a benchmark on the left which took some effort to free from the undergrowth. The wall mentioned in the OS description (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6935237">ST7633 : Benchmark freed from nettles and ivy</a>) is actually the lower parapet over the stream connecting the various ornamental lakes – the headwaters of the River Stour.
