West Spring Wood is part of a semi-natural woodland near Maldon in Essex. 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. West Spring Wood is now mostly a hornbeam coppice with oak standards, but the odd birch 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).
