Stodmarsh Court Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Kent, England. Situated near the village of Stodmarsh, the wood covers an area of approximately 150 acres and is part of the wider Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve.

The wood is predominantly composed of wet woodland, making it a unique and valuable habitat for a range of plants and animals. The area is characterized by its damp and marshy conditions, which are created by the nearby River Stour and its associated floodplain. This rich combination of water and woodland creates an ideal environment for a diverse array of flora and fauna.

Visitors to Stodmarsh Court Wood can expect to find a variety of tree species, including oak, ash, alder, and willow, which thrive in the wet conditions. The woodland floor is covered in a vibrant carpet of wildflowers in the spring and summer months, including bluebells and primroses.

The wood is also home to numerous bird species, with notable residents including the kingfisher, marsh harrier, and reed warbler. These birds are attracted to the wetland environment, which provides them with ample food and nesting opportunities. Other wildlife, such as water voles, otters, and a variety of insects, can also be spotted within the wood.

Stodmarsh Court Wood offers visitors the chance to explore and appreciate the natural beauty of a wet woodland ecosystem. Its location within the Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve further enhances its importance as a protected and cherished natural site.

Robin in the car park of Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve
