Bellhatch Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Surrey, England. Situated near the village of Abinger Hammer, it covers an area of approximately 50 hectares. The wood is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), known for its diverse range of habitats and rich biodiversity.

The wood is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash, creating a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a variety of flora and fauna. Bluebells carpet the forest floor in spring, creating a stunning display of vibrant colors. Other wildflowers, such as wood anemones and primroses, also thrive in the wood.

Bellhatch Wood is home to a wide range of wildlife. Visitors may spot roe deer, badgers, and foxes roaming through the undergrowth. Birdwatchers can enjoy the sight of various species, including woodpeckers, owls, and warblers. The wood is also home to a number of bat species, making it an important habitat for these nocturnal creatures.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths and bridleways, providing opportunities for visitors to explore and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The paths wind through the towering trees, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and appreciate the peaceful ambiance of the wood.

Bellhatch Wood is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and families seeking a day out in the countryside. Its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem make it a truly special place to visit in Surrey.

Chithurst Lane, Surrey The status of this lane south of Chithurst Farm is not known to me. There are no public footpath or bridleway markings on the OS map, where it is just shown as a 'white' road. Whether it actually emerges anywhere at the southern end I do not know. As can be seen from the photograph, it is barely motorable.

Rough Beech Farm, Dowlands Lane, Surrey This farm was rather difficult to photograph well owing to the prevailing light direction at the time. It can, however, be seen that much work has gone into making this a successful and thriving enterprise.
