Flowercroft Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Oxfordshire, a county in south-central England. Nestled within the stunning countryside, this tranquil forest covers an area of approximately 50 acres, providing a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike.

The wood is predominantly composed of a diverse range of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and ash. These majestic trees create a lush canopy that blankets the forest floor, filtering the sunlight and creating a soothing ambiance. In the springtime, Flowercroft Wood transforms into a breathtaking spectacle as it bursts into a riot of vibrant colors with the blooming of bluebells, primroses, and wild orchids.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. As visitors wander through the wood, they may encounter various wildlife species, such as deer, foxes, and a multitude of bird species. The peaceful atmosphere and natural surroundings make it an ideal spot for birdwatching and photography.

Flowercroft Wood is also home to a variety of ecological habitats, including a small pond and wetland areas. These provide a haven for amphibians, insects, and other aquatic creatures. The wood is managed by a local conservation group, who work tirelessly to preserve its natural beauty and protect its delicate ecosystem.

With its serene atmosphere and stunning natural scenery, Flowercroft Wood offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a picnic, or simply immersing oneself in the wonders of nature, this enchanting woodland is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking solace and tranquility in the heart of Oxfordshire.

Chiltern Way Created by the Chiltern Society as its Millennium Project, the Way originally took in all of the Chilterns from north to south across the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in a 125-miles circuit extending from Ewelme in the south west, Chorleywood in the south east and Sharpenhoe Clappers and Great Offley in the north east. It was based on an earlier unofficial route, the Chiltern Hundred. The Way passes through some of the most attractive parts of the Chilterns, including the Bovingdon Plateau, the Chess valley, the Misbourne valley, Penn Country, the Hambleden valley, Stonor Park, Ewelme, Swyncombe Down, Bledlow Ridge, Hampden Country, Bulbourne valley and Dunstable Down. The original 200km (125 miles) Way took in Hemel via Chalfont St Giles, the edge of Marlow, Hambleden, Bix Bottom, Ewelme, the Ridgeway, Stokenchurch, Great Hampden, Aldbury, the Dunstable Downs, Sharpenhoe Clappers and Harpenden. Two extensions have been added in 2003: the southern adds a loop of 50km (35 miles) from Bix Bottom via Mapledurham on the Thames and the northern extension 44km (27 miles) from Sharpenhoe Clappers via the Icknield Way and the outskirts of Hitchin. A short cut from Bix Bottom creates a 16km (10 miles) loop via Ewelme. Although officially starting at Hemel Hempstead Station, the walk can be started at many other places on the route. The Way also has links with other routes including Chiltern Heritage Trail, Ridgeway National Trail, Icknield Way Path, Oxfordshire, Swan's and South Bucks Ways and Grand Union Canal, Lea Valley and Chess Valley Walks.
