Introduction
The best way to visit St Helens Wood Local Nature Reserve is through the Langham Road entrance, the nearest bus stop is in Downs Road. Alternatively the De Roemer meadows entrance to the north of the reserve can be reached from The Ridge. A bus stop is situated very near the entrance to the public footpath that leads to the reserve. This path is highly unsuitable for vehicles.
