Summary

Description
English: Doddershall Wood. Doddershall Wood is a close-packed mature broadleaved wood of about 43 hectares, predominantly oak, with ash, field maple, aspen and birch. This wood, together with Grendon Wood which adjoins it to the north, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The woods have long been known as a site of exceptional importance for butterflies of which no less than 35 species, some now very rare, have been recorded.

A part of these woods was within the medieval hunting Great Forest of Bernwood, see 408568. The woods are part of the estate of Doddershall House which is 2km to the east, 928901. The village of Grendon Underwood is 1.5km to the west. The name Grendon means 'green hill', and the addition of Underwood is believed to signify its vicinity to the forest of Bernwood.

Looking north-west, this ride runs for about 600m and is one of about five rides in the wood. A deer can just be seen in the distance.
