Boyd's Wood is a serene and picturesque woodland located in the county of Sussex in southern England. Spread over an area of approximately 50 acres, this enchanting forest is known for its rich biodiversity and tranquility. The wood is situated near the village of Boyd's Hill, which is nestled within the beautiful South Downs National Park.

Boyd's Wood is primarily composed of a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees, such as oak, beech, birch, and pine. These trees form a dense canopy, providing shade and creating a sense of seclusion within the wood. The forest floor is adorned with a vibrant carpet of wildflowers, including bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones during the springtime, attracting nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the peaceful surroundings at their leisure. These paths lead to various points of interest, including a small pond where numerous species of birds and insects can be observed. The sound of birdsong fills the air, adding to the tranquil ambiance of the wood.

Boyd's Wood is a haven for wildlife, hosting a diverse range of species. It is home to squirrels, foxes, rabbits, and a variety of birds, including woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes. Nature lovers may also spot the occasional deer or badger, as the wood provides a safe habitat for these creatures.

Whether one seeks a peaceful stroll, a spot of birdwatching, or a chance to immerse themselves in nature's beauty, Boyd's Wood offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

View south towards High Hurst Copse This photo was taken from the aptly named Park Lane - aptly because there are a lot of places to park along here, which is helpful from a walker's point of view.

Iron-rich stream and drain I think this stream is called Jobscastle Gill, according to the map. This is the third photo I've taken recently of an iron-rich stream in the Sussex Weald. The previous two, however, were in Ashdown Forest - further to the east. There was an iron industry in this region from Roman times until the early 18th century.
