It covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is situated on the outskirts of the village of Kedges, nestled in the heart of the county's countryside. The wood is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.

The woodland consists of a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees, including oak, beech, and pine, creating a rich tapestry of colors throughout the seasons. The forest floor is adorned with a vibrant carpet of bluebells in the spring, while the autumn brings a stunning display of golden hues as the leaves change.

Kedges Wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, making it easily accessible for visitors who wish to explore its beauty.

Cob House Fisheries - Robin On the edge of the fishing pond called Wyatts. Very often there are fishing competitions at the weekend and the public are kept out of this area. But not today - the lakes were largely frozen.

Trees near Kenswick Manor First impressions suggest the clump of trees on the left are on the site of a tumulus, I thought I could even see a standing stone.  A quick look at the OS map reveals nothing and then I look through my binoculars and realise what I think is a standing stone is the stump of a large felled dead tree.
