Oxshott Woods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oxshott Woods is a small wooded area to the North of Oxshott in the English county of Surrey, containing Oxshott Heath. This woodland contains both deciduous and coniferous trees, notably: mature and young oak; beech; silver birch; birch; and Scots Pine. The woodland is bordered to the South by the Waterloo to Guildford via Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon railway line, to the East by the A244 road running between Esher and Leatherhead, to the North by the A3 (Portsmouth Road) (although the wooded area continues north towards Esher as Esher Common), and the West by encroaching residential development. Oxshott Woods provide a healthy recreational area for local residents, being set on a sloping escarpment.
