Biggin Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Surrey, England. Situated near the village of Biggin Hill, it covers an area of approximately 100 hectares and forms part of the wider North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The woodland is predominantly made up of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a stunning canopy during the summer months. These trees provide a vibrant display of colors in autumn, attracting visitors from far and wide to witness the natural beauty.

Biggin Wood is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including various bird species such as woodpeckers, tawny owls, and red kites. The woodland also supports a thriving population of small mammals, including foxes, rabbits, and squirrels, which can often be spotted darting between the trees.
