Blockfield Wood is a picturesque wooded area located in Surrey, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, the wood is nestled in the heart of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The wood is characterized by its dense and diverse tree canopy, which is predominantly composed of native broadleaf species such as oak, beech, and ash.

The wood boasts a rich biodiversity, providing a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. It is home to a variety of woodland birds, including the great spotted woodpecker, tawny owl, and various species of warblers. Mammals such as foxes, badgers, and deer can also be spotted within the wood.

Blockfield Wood offers a tranquil and peaceful environment, attracting nature enthusiasts, walkers, and photographers alike. It features a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the wood and discover its hidden gems. The wood is particularly stunning during springtime when the forest floor is carpeted with bluebells, creating a breathtaking sight.

The wood is managed by the Forestry Commission, which ensures the preservation of its natural integrity. Sustainable forestry practices are implemented to maintain the health and vitality of the trees while also providing timber for commercial use.

Blockfield Wood offers a perfect setting for outdoor activities such as picnicking, nature walks, and wildlife observation. It is a cherished natural asset and a popular destination for those seeking a connection with nature in the beautiful Surrey countryside.
