Westwood Woodland Park is a 49.5-hectare (122-acre) Local Nature Reserve in Southampton in Hampshire.
To the north of the park, Conduits can be found, which previously supplied the Abbey, and later Netley Castle, with water.
The site was picked due to its good cover and proximity to the Supermarine factory in Woolston, which produced the Spitfire.
[5][6] Its habitats include ancient woodland, with haze coppice and oaks, streams, ponds, marshes and grassland.
There are several rare beetles, and birds include barn owls, skylarks, linnets and meadow pipits.
