Spring Wood, Belstead

Spring Wood is a 5.5 hectare Local Nature Reserve east of Belstead, on the southern outskirts of Ipswich in Suffolk.

It is owned and managed by Ipswich Borough Council.

[1][2] This ancient oak and hornbeam wood has an understorey of hazel.

There are small-leaved limes in groups several metres in diameter, which are genetically one tree, as a result of coppicing decades ago.

[1][3] There is access from the neighbouring Millennium Wood and by a footpath from Bobbits Lane.
