Withdean Woods

A wooded hillside - close to the centre of Brighton

This woodland is on a steep slope overlooking the Withdean Stadium and is a green oasis in an urban setting. It is home to a range of wildlife including urban Foxes and Badgers. The large mature trees, although decimated in the storm of 1987, attract birds including the Great Spotted Woodpecker and occasionally Firecrest.

Withdean Woods Nature Reserve is free to visit, but we are only able to care for Withdean Woods with the support we receive from our members. Please consider becoming a member or making a donation today.
