Hainault Forest, Essex
This ancient woodland is home to a wealth of wildlife and plant species, and was once a royal hunting forest. An estimated 3,000 to 4,000 ancient hornbeam pollards survive, which support a myriad of species including owls, woodpeckers, bats and whole communities of specialised insects, lichens, mosses and funghi.
