Benington High Wood

Benington High Wood is a 20.7 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Benington in Hertfordshire. The planning authority is East Hertfordshire District Council.

The site is ancient woodland, described by Natural England as "one of the best remaining examples in the county of the pedunculate oak-hornbeam of the ash-maple variety". Shrub species include field maple and hazel, with a higher ground flora diversity in clearings and rides.

There is access from a footpath between Walkern Road and Lordship Farm.
