Permit-only Access

Traditional hazel coppice woodland with oak standards, and a large colony of wild daffodils

nearest town: Chichester

highlights: Spring woodland flowers, butterflies and wild daffodils.

access: West Dean Woods, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is a working woodland on a private estate, and access is restricted to those working the coppice or making scientific research. However, a public bridleway runs along the western edge, and provides the best vantage point to view the daffodils that are at the northern end. There is a parking lay-by close to the bridleway on the minor road.

size: 17 hectare
