Ash Grove is a picturesque woodland located in Gloucestershire, England. Situated near the village of Ashleworth, it covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem. The grove is part of the larger Ashleworth Ham Nature Reserve and is managed by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.

The wood is predominantly made up of ash trees, hence its name, but also features a variety of other tree species such as oak, beech, and elm. The dense canopy formed by these trees creates a cool and serene atmosphere, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers alike.

The forest floor is adorned with a rich carpet of bluebells in the spring, adding a burst of vibrant color to the surroundings. It is also home to an array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, badgers, and a wide variety of bird species. The grove serves as an important habitat for these creatures, providing them with shelter and food sources.

Several well-maintained footpaths wind through Ash Grove, allowing visitors to explore the area and enjoy its natural wonders. These paths offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, with glimpses of the River Severn in the distance.

Ash Grove, Gloucestershire is not only a haven for wildlife but also a place of tranquility and beauty. Its ancient trees, diverse flora, and thriving fauna make it a cherished spot for those seeking solace in nature's embrace.
