Freston and Cutler's Woods with Holbrook Park is a 142 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Ipswich in Suffolk.[1][2] The site is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty[3]
These ancient woods have woodland types typical of spring-fed valleys and light sandy soils. Holbrook Park has coppice stools over 3 metres in diameter, among the largest in Britain. Sweet chestnut, which was introduced in the Middle Ages, is found widely, and other trees include the rare wild service tree.[4]
Holbrook Park is private, but a public footpath goes through Cutler's Wood.
