Groton Wood

Groton Wood

Groton Wood is a wood near Groton, Suffolk in the Babergh district, in the county of Suffolk, England. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Groton Wood is considered to be one of the oldest woodlands in East England, along with Arger Fen. Researchers say the existence of the northern part of the wood dates back to pre-historic times, as small-leaved lime coppices have been found on this part. Large wild cherry trees also exist, which makes it one of the few woods to have this species.
