Ridge Plantation is a secluded woodland located on the edge of the stunning South Downs National Park. This forest, primarily composed of chestnut coppice of various ages, also boasts impressive oak, beech, and a towering Douglas fir on its western edge. Elsewhere, you'll find cherry, pine, holly, and an array of ferns and other flora at ground level, with bluebells carpeting the floor in season.

Well-used paths meander through the northern section of the site, including a segment of the Serpent Trail, a 64-mile serpentine route that starts in Haslemere on the Sussex-Surrey border and ends in Petersfield, passing through picturesque forests and heathland.

The southern part of the woodland consists mostly of younger coppice, which will become a valuable resource in time. The more mature coppice is now ready for selective harvesting. Clearings scattered throughout the area provide perfect spots for camping and woodland activities.

From the northeast corner of Ridge Plantation, a footpath leads to the outskirts of Haslemere, where you'll find shops and a charming pub, The Mill. With easy access to the A3, both London and the south coast are within convenient reach.
