Hodgemoor Wood is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire.
[1][2] The site is a large area of semi-natural broad-leaved woodland on unusually varied soil types of mottled clays, sands and gravels, and it has a similarly wide range of structure, including ancient coppiced oak, beech and hornbeam.
Butterflies include white admiral and purple hairstreak, and the nationally rare jewel beetle Agrilus biguttatus has been recorded.
[1] There are extensive tracks with broad rides,[1] walking trails, and cycling paths, and access to the site from Bottrells Lane.
In particular the Hodgemoor Camp housed refugees from the 3rd Carpathian Rifle Division, many of whom later settled in the area, leading to the large local Polish population.
