Philipshill Wood is a 77 acres (31 ha)[1] area of woodland in the English county of Buckinghamshire, situated on the border with Hertfordshire about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the village of Chorleywood.

Historic human management of the wood is evidenced by archaeological features such as earthworks and the remains of sawpits, chalk pits and a charcoal hearth.

[2] Old Shire Lane on the eastern edge of the wood is thought to mark part of the boundary between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia.

There are also a number of conifer species, such as Scots pine, Douglas fir and western hemlock; these were planted during the 1960s but are being removed by the Woodland Trust as part of a long-term management plan.

[2][5] In addition to beech and conifer, the wood is home to some cherry, rowan, hornbeam, field maple and oak trees.
