Boothby Little Wood is a picturesque woodland area located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Situated near the village of Boothby Graffoe, it covers a total area of approximately 100 acres. This ancient woodland is known for its rich biodiversity and serene atmosphere, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and walkers.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees such as oak, ash, and beech, which have been growing there for centuries. These trees provide a dense canopy that allows minimal sunlight to reach the forest floor, creating a cool and damp environment. The undergrowth is abundant with ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, adding to the woodland's enchanting beauty.

Boothby Little Wood is home to a diverse range of wildlife. Numerous bird species can be spotted within the woodland, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. The forest is also inhabited by mammals like badgers, foxes, and deer, which can often be seen grazing among the trees.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural wonders at their own pace. These paths lead to hidden clearings, babbling brooks, and even a small pond, enhancing the woodland's charm. Additionally, there are several designated picnic areas and benches scattered throughout the forest, providing visitors with the opportunity to relax and soak in the tranquil ambiance.

Boothby Little Wood is a true gem of Lincolnshire, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking solace in nature's embrace.
