Burnham Beeches

Burnham Beeches combines 220 hectares (540 acres) of ancient woodland, wood pasture, coppice, ponds and streams, grassland, mire and heathland. The most prominent features are the veteran Beech and Oak pollarded trees that provide a stable habitat for many rare and endangered deadwood species.

Burnham Beeches is a National Nature Reserve and Special Area of Conservation, so it is requested to keep to the paths and have your dogs under control. There are some different dog rules across the area, and we recommend checking signs, some requiring dogs to be on leads whilst others can run free as long as they stay in sight and are well-behaved. The one area around the cafe is split into dog-free and dog-allowed areas.

There are a few car parking options when visiting. We have Stag Car Park (SL2 3TA)  marked on the map, but also Lord Mayors Drive Car Park (SL2 3LB) or Dell Car Park (SL2 3NF).
