The Beech trees. Large, aged beech trees (Fagus sylvatica), along with oaks, are common and widespread in the New Forest. They like considerable amounts of water but dislike waterlogged soils, and unlike the oaks, are badly affected by drought.

Beech Bed Inclosure's history reflects a broader policy of inclosure in the New Forest aimed at timber production, with its specific establishment in 1829 marking a period of significant land management changes in the area. Over time, this particular inclosure has evolved into a sublime and mature woodland with super-tall beech trees that contribute to the New Forest's ecological and landscape value.
