Sheet Hedges Wood

Sheet Hedges Wood is in the parish of Newtown Linford, and lies some 1-mile (1.6 km) north of Groby, in Leicestershire, UK.

The site is made up of two areas of woodland and a meadow field, all with public access, extending 29 acres (120,000 m2).

The larger eastern woodland is a 21.7 hectares (54 acres) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.

[1][2] It is typical of ancient woods on clay soils in central and eastern England, and ash is dominant in the canopy, while the shrub layer has hazel, field maple, hawthorn, elder and privet.

[4] Less than 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south is Groby Pool, an area of natural open water, with its own car park.
