Mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, Bubbenhall Wood has been wooded since at least this time. A beautiful mosaic of ancient broadleaf woodland, grassy rides and glades, meadowland and open pools, this jewel in our countryside is home to myriad species. In 2016 the woodland and meadow, encompassing 16 hectares of natural beauty, came up for sale. The site had been identified by the Trust as a vulnerable and important site for conservation, forming part of the largest area of ancient woodland left within Warwickshire today.

Bubbenhall Wood owes its future, in part, to several individuals who all shared the same vision - a safe haven for wildlife in our county. Alongside a successful funding campaign, their collective gifts enabled the Trust to act quickly, securing the future of the woodland forever.

Today, the Trust is working to connect Bubbenhall, Wappenbury and Ryton Woods to form the largest interconnecting area of ancient woodland in the county. Thanks to the generosity and forethought of some wonderful people, this vision will become a reality - a truly lasting and living gift.
