  • Visitor Information
Combined with the adjacent Dulwich Wood (which is private), Sydenham Hill Wood forms the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood which once stretched from Deptford to Selhurst. In the 1870's large Victorian villas with extensive gardens were established on Sydenham Hill and the wood is now a unique mix of old woodland, Victorian garden survivors and recent woodland. The wood is home to over 200 species of trees and flowering plants including wild garlic, early dog violet and bugle. It's also home to a multitude of fungi, rare insects, birds and elusive woodland mammals. Talking a stroll along Cox's Walk you'll find an old avenue lined with oaks and, if you look closely, you may well spot nuthatch and green woodpecker. Enter the wood on Crescent Wood Road off Sydenham Hill.
