About Nores Hill Wood
Nores Hill Wood is an ancient woodland site with a small meadow, covering 8 hectares and is located next to the Shinfield Park development.
The ancient woodland is home to a number of wildflowers including carpets of Bluebells in the spring, Primroses, Dog’s Mercury and Wood Anemones. The site is also home to the rare Wild Service tree. The site historically formed part of Windsor Great Park and Henry the Eighth had a hunting lodge there. There are a number of veteran oak trees on site, the largest of which would have been present during his reign.
