Covering an approximate area of 100 hectares, the plantation is nestled in the heart of Berkshire's countryside and offers visitors a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The plantation is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor.

These areas are often carpeted with wildflowers during the spring and summer months, adding a burst of color to the landscape.

Beal's Plantation, with its tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural scenery, offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of Berkshire's woodlands. Whether it's a peaceful walk or a picnic among the trees, this plantation provides a rejuvenating experience for nature enthusiasts of all ages.
