Ham Street Woods are part of Orlestone Forest, a now-fragmented ancient woodland that covered the entire Weald after the last Ice Age. The nature reserve is home to protected species like great crested newts and dormice and supports many species of birds, insects and other wildlife. In spring, the woods erupt into colour with white wood anemones and bluebells. In autumn, you can forage many types of fungi among crispy golden leaves.
