The glorious woodland of Durford Heath was actually heathland, as the name suggests, until 150 years ago and some patches of heather are still evident. Then it was planted with oaks and coppiced regularly to provide charcoal for the iron industry. This area is now managed by the National Trust which, to maintain a variety of wildlife, has provided glades, wide tracks and clearings. We can now enjoy some glorious, light and sunny, mixed woodland, including some of the best examples of sessile oak in the south-east.
