Beechwoods is a 9.8 hectare Local Nature Reserve south-east of Cambridge, England. It is owned by County Farms and managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.[1][2]

Beeches were planted on chalky farmland in the 1840s, and medieval plough terraces are still visible. Birds include green and great spotted woodpeckers, and nuthatches.[3]

There is access from Worts' Causeway.
