Historic woodland dating back to 1086, Millington Wood is a Local Nature Reserve with distinctive chalk landscape. The woods are a delight in every season: bluebells and ramsons carpet the forest floor in spring, autumn paints the leaves golden and red, and giant bellflowers grow up to 6 feet (1.8 metres) in summer. You can access the woods at all times.
