Ash Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Cambridgeshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike. The plantation is predominantly composed of ash trees, hence its name, which provide a dense canopy and create a serene atmosphere.

The forest boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a haven for wildlife. Visitors can expect to encounter various species of birds, such as woodpeckers and robins, as well as small mammals like rabbits and squirrels. The woodland floor is adorned with a vibrant carpet of wildflowers during the spring and summer months, adding bursts of color to the predominantly green landscape.

The paths are well-maintained and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, making it an ideal destination for families and recreational walkers. Additionally, there are picnic areas and benches scattered throughout the woodland, providing a perfect spot for visitors to rest and enjoy a packed lunch amidst the tranquility of nature.

Ash Plantation is easily accessible, with ample parking available nearby. It is open to the public year-round, although the autumn months are particularly popular due to the stunning display of colors as the leaves change.
