Ashurst Wood is part of a semi-natural woodland near Maldon in Essex. Full of wildlife, it is an absolute joy to be in. Old maps show there has been woodland on this site for hundreds of years. Once called Birchwood, it gave its name to the road running along its southern boundary between Cock Clarks and Purleigh. Ashurst Wood is now mostly a hornbeam coppice with oak standards, but the odd birch and sweet chestnut can be found too. In the spring the woodland is carpeted with bluebells and wood anemones.
This woodland is of particular interest to those with a passion for nature and British wildlife. Because this is a special woodland the woodland is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
Parish is Purleigh, district is Maldon DC in Essex County
