Singe Wood is a picturesque forest located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. Situated just a few miles south of the historic city of Oxford, Singe Wood covers an area of approximately 200 acres, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers.

The wood is primarily composed of mature deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife. Singe Wood is known for its rich biodiversity, with numerous species of birds, mammals, and insects calling it home. Visitors may spot red kites soaring above the treetops, while on the forest floor, they may come across badgers, foxes, and deer.

The wood offers a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its beauty and tranquility. There are also several picnic areas, providing an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. In the spring, Singe Wood bursts into life, with vibrant displays of bluebells carpeting the forest floor, creating a breathtaking sight.

Due to its close proximity to Oxford, Singe Wood is easily accessible by both public and private transportation. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, seeking a peaceful escape from the bustling city. Whether it's for a leisurely walk, birdwatching, or simply to enjoy the beauty of nature, Singe Wood offers a serene and enchanting experience for all who visit.

Slightly Faded Signpost It&#039;s that signpost again. Of the six pictures so far for SP3614, this signpost features in four of them.
Apart from an old ruined shed, it&#039;s one of the few features of note in this square.

Two Road Junctions SP3614&#039;s one and only signpost in the distance, with another junction that doesn&#039;t even merit a signpost.
Also a parish boundary. I am in Hailey parish, the signpost is in Ramsden.

Way into the Garden Centre The entrance to Charlbury Garden Centre.
In a bit of a rural coffee desert there&#039;s a nice cafe here with capuccino and cake.
They also do plants and compost and stuff.
Recommended.

Way out of the Garden Centre There&#039;s a one way system around Charlbury Garden Centre, probably because the entrance road is so narrow.
It&#039;s a lot longer to get out than to get in.

The Royal Oak, Ramsden Ramsden&#039;s village pub is on a wide bit of the High Street opposite a road junction.
In front, the war memorial stands on a traffic island protected from collisions by a solid concrete plinth.
