Woodland path (Loder Valley, black & white))
The woodland in the Loder Valley Nature Reserve at Wakehurst, West Sussex, has had continuous tree cover since at least the 1600s, earning it the designation of semi-ancient woodland.
Too hilly to farm, the land was instead coppiced and used for charcoal burning through the medieval period and beyond.
A Neolithic flint arrowhead found in the valley dates human presence here to some 4,000 years ago. Beneath the canopy, dense bramble and hazel undergrowth shelters hazel dormice and other native species.
The woodland reopened to visitors in 2025 after a two-year closure to remove trees lost to ash dieback.
