Swain's Wood

Swain's Wood is a 16.2-hectare (40-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Turville in Buckinghamshire.

It is in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.

[1][2] The site is in the upper slopes of a valley, with grassland and scrub, flanked by woodland on both sides.

The grassland has varied plant and invertebrate species, including several which are rare, such as the spiders Tapinocyboides pygmaea and Phrurolithus minimus.

Some woodland appears to be ancient; some areas are mainly beech with others mixed.
