Top 10 major towns and cities with access to woodlands

94% of households within England and Wales are within one mile of an accessible woodland, despite the loss of almost half our ancient woodlands in the last 80 years.


  • Access to woodlands isn't just limited to the countryside. Across built-up areas there are, on average, 5.4 woodlands accessible from each household.
  • Households in major towns and cities such as Milton Keynes and Harlow enjoy excellent access, with an average of 13.1 and 11.5 woodlands within one mile of home.
  • Forests and woods are known to boost physical and mental wellbeing. The vibrant colour changes of autumn make this the perfect time for a visit. Source: Dataloft, Natural England, Open Street Map, ONS
