Ancient woodlandWoodland rides & glades

Wytham Woods is a nationally important research woodland with an exceptionally rich bird community. Nuthatch, Marsh Tit, Treecreeper and woodpeckers are widespread, and the open rides host breeding warblers and mixed flocks in winter. Tawny Owl is a notable resident and often encountered around dusk.

The woodland is immensely rewarding for woodland enthusiasts.
