| In Wivenhoe's Woods there are a great many attractive paths
and walks. In the spring time, parts of the woods are full of bluebells.
Some of the paths may get a bit muddy during the winter months as there
are some natural springs on this side of Wivenhoe.
Most of the Woods are coppiced on a rotational basis every ten years to
keep them light and airy. They now form a major part of the Colne Nature
Reserve, majority owned by Colchester Borough Council and a small part, by
the King George V playing fields by Wivenhoe Town Council.

Views through the Woods. The Woods open out on to King
George V playing fields (below) and a path takes you under the
railway line and allows you to get to the Wivenhoe Trail and river
bank.
