A special woodland area consisting of 86 hectares of woodland, with occasional lookouts over Marlow, Chiltern hills and the River Thames. Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote the poem the Revolt of Islam in the area in 1817 and the woods also provided inspiration for Kenneth Grahame's Wild wood in the wind of the willows. Bisham woods is also the site of Bisham Quarry, an important medieval source of stone, much of which was used to build Windsor Castle.

Absolutely lovely woodland area with lots of different paths and bridleways! Better for slightly older kids going for a hike as too rugged for any kind of pushchair, but older kids will be able to appreciate the place a bit more anyway. At plenty if points I found myself hearing the birds through the place, though do be aware of both the steepness in places and the sound being relatively close to the main road.

Lovely place for a short hike. Not very far from here is the Copas Turkey and Cookham village, which definitely added on to our experience that day.
