Bell Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Bedfordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 20 hectares, it is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The wood is predominantly made up of native broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense and vibrant canopy.

The woodland is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, providing a rich habitat for various species. Bluebells carpet the forest floor in the spring, creating a stunning display of vibrant colors. Other wildflowers such as primroses, wood anemones, and wild garlic also thrive in the wood.

The wood offers a network of footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty. The serene atmosphere and tranquil surroundings make it an ideal spot for walking, jogging, or simply enjoying a peaceful picnic. Birdwatching and photography are also popular activities in Bell Wood.

Whipsnade golf course The Icknield way runs directly across this golf course. Whilst crossing it we were told that jeans are not permitted on the course! Must remember to bring a change of clothes next time we're out walking this way. (As a golfer myself, I wish we could shake off this image - Robin)
