Bishop's Wood

Bishop’s Wood Country Park is a 38 Hectare ancient semi-natural woodland on the outskirts of Rickmansworth which means it is likely that there has been a wood in this location since Britain was afforested after the last ice age.

The site became a Country Park in 1988 with a car park, on-site interpretation boards, picnic tables and seats. Ancient woodland ground flora exists in places and includes stunning bluebells when in season.

A wide variety of plants and animals can be discovered as you explore the wood. These may include flowers like common spotted orchid and enchanter's nightshade, butterflies such as white admiral and silver-washed fritillary and birds including woodcock, nuthatch and great spotted woodpecker.

There is a short easy access trail leading directly from the car park. This has a firm surface and is suitable for families with buggies, wheelchair users and those less mobile.
