Cobblershill Wood is a charming woodland located in the county of Buckinghamshire, England. Spanning an area of approximately 50 acres, this picturesque forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike.

The wood is primarily composed of native tree species such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy that offers shade and shelter to a variety of wildlife.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, making it easily accessible for walkers and hikers. These paths lead visitors through different sections of the wood, allowing them to explore its various features and admire its natural beauty from different perspectives.

A footpath, in practice, follows this side of the hedge, switching to the right for the climb up the other side of the valley. The map suggests it should be to the right throughout. Arable fields occupy gentle slopes in the bottom of the valley with woodland on steeper slopes on either side.

Leaning Signpost in Chisley Wood

A number of paths go through the woods up here, including the Icknield Way Trail and the South Bucks Way. Vehicle access is possible up to this point and it looks like someone's managed to hit the signpost.

New Building at Little Hampden

There are very few buildings at Little Hampden so this new place is quite an addition. Steps up to the church on the left, parish noticeboard in front.

Little Hampden Church

A 13th century church with maybe earlier walling. It doesn't seem to have a dedication according to British History on Line Link

which has a lot of information about the Manor as well as the church. The parish is now incorporated with Great Hampden. There is one service a month held here. Not easy to photograph from the tiny churchyard.
