Spring Wood is a picturesque forest located in Sussex, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, this wood is known for its vibrant and diverse flora and fauna. The forest is predominantly comprised of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a lush green canopy during the spring and summer months.

One of the striking features of Spring Wood is its abundance of bluebells that blanket the forest floor in a stunning display of colors during the springtime. Visitors are often captivated by the enchanting sight and delicate fragrance these flowers offer. The wood also boasts a variety of other wildflowers, such as primroses, violets, and wood anemones, adding to its natural beauty.
