Hampstead Heath Woods is a 16.6-hectare (41-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden. It is in two separate areas within Hampstead Heath, North Wood between Kenwood House and Hampstead Lane, and the larger Ken Wood, south of Kenwood House.[1][2]
The site has many old and over-mature trees, and extensive dead wood which provides a habitat for invertebrates, including the nationally rare
water horsetail.[1]
