Withdean Woods

About Withdean Woods

A cluster of small woodlands along the London to Brighton railway line from Preston Park station north to Coney Hill.

Withdean Woods are a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and a valuable wildlife corridor in an urban area.

The mature woodlands support a rich variety of trees including large beech, yew and holly. There is a diverse woodland bird community and native woodland ground flora in places.

Maintaining the area

The site is maintained by The Withdean, Westdene Woods & Eldred Avenue Copse Keepers (TWWEACK).
