Flitwick Wood accessible countryside site
Flitwick Wood, an ancient semi-natural woodland, is a remnant of a much larger woodland. Clearance began in Saxon times to make way for cultivation. By Medieval times most of the land had been cleared, leaving the wood which survives today.
Today, the wood is a haven for wildlife with plenty to see throughout the year. In late spring the wood is carpeted by bluebells and wild garlic.
