Doctor's Wood, also known as Wood, Forest, is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Kent, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is situated near the village of Woodnesborough, just a few miles south of the historic town of Sandwich.

The woodland is characterized by its dense canopy of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The trees in Doctor's Wood include oak, beech, birch, and pine, among others, providing a diverse habitat for various wildlife species.

The forest floor is carpeted with a rich variety of native flora, including bluebells, primroses, and wild garlic, which create a vibrant display of colors during the spring and summer months. Several footpaths wind their way through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore and appreciate its natural beauty.

Doctor's Wood is not only a haven for nature enthusiasts, but also serves as an important ecological site. It provides a vital habitat for a range of bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and warblers, as well as small mammals like foxes, badgers, and squirrels.

The woodland is a popular destination for leisurely walks, picnics, and nature photography. It offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. Whether it's a family outing, a romantic stroll, or a solo adventure, Doctor's Wood provides a delightful retreat for all.
