Little High Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Worcestershire, England. Situated near the town of Bewdley, this small yet enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 15 acres. The wood is part of a larger complex known as the Wyre Forest, which is renowned for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity.

Little High Wood is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, birch, and beech, which create a dense and verdant canopy. The woodland floor is covered with a carpet of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to its enchanting atmosphere. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, such as squirrels, foxes, and a range of bird species, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural wonders. These paths lead to various points of interest, including a tranquil pond and a small stream that meanders through the woodland. The peaceful ambiance, coupled with the soothing sound of the babbling brook, creates a serene and idyllic setting for a leisurely stroll or a picnic amidst nature.

Little High Wood offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing visitors with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world. Its proximity to Bewdley makes it easily accessible, attracting both locals and tourists alike who seek solace in its peaceful embrace.
