Description

Penn Wood lies in the heart of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It has a long history and was once part of a very large common called Wycombe Heath. A herd of cows is still used to manage part of the site today as wood pasture, and this continues the traditional management carried out in the past.The wood contains impressive bluebell sections in the spring and red kites and buzzards are commonly seen overhead. Look out for dragonflies near the ponds and butterflies in the patchwork of habitats at Penn.
