Knowle Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Surrey, England. Situated in the southern part of the county, it covers an area of approximately 100 acres. The wood is part of the larger Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity.

Knowle Wood is predominantly composed of oak trees, although there is also a variety of other species such as beech, birch, and hazel. The diverse tree population creates a vibrant and colorful canopy, particularly during the autumn months when the leaves change to vivid hues of red, orange, and gold.

The wood is crisscrossed with a network of footpaths, making it a popular destination for walkers, joggers, and nature enthusiasts. These pathways wind through the woodland, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its hidden corners and discover the many natural wonders it holds.

Wildlife thrives in Knowle Wood, with numerous species making it their home. Deer can often be spotted grazing in the clearing, while squirrels dart through the trees in search of food. The wood's diverse ecosystem also attracts a wide range of bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers.

Knowle Wood is managed and protected by the Surrey Wildlife Trust, ensuring the conservation of its natural beauty for future generations. The wood provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with its tranquil atmosphere and breathtaking scenery making it a true gem of Surrey.
