From the Wikipedia article
Runfold Wood is a 12-hectare (30-acre) nature reserve east of Farnham in Surrey. It is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust. This former beech plantation was badly damaged by the major storms of 1987 and 1990. It is now regenerating naturally as a mixed woodland. It has rare invertebrates, lichens and fungi together with birds such as blackcaps and nuthatches. There is access from Crooksbury Road or Compton Way in Runfold.
