Iken Wood is a 5.3-hectare (13-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Snape in Suffolk.[1][2] It is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[3]
This is probably the only ancient coppice wood on blown sand in Britain. Massive oak standards are dominant, and there are stools with a diameter of 3 metres (10 feet). Other trees include silver birch, holly and rowan.[4]
The site is private land with no public access.
