Wakerley Spinney is a 4.4-hectare (11-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of King's Cliffe in Northamptonshire.[1][2]
This is a remnant of the ancient Royal Forest of Rockingham, and it has broadleaved woodland and semi-natural grassland. The most common trees are pedunculate oak, ash, sycamore and downy birch. Locally uncommon flowering plants include woodruff, violet helleborine and fly orchid.[3]
The site is private land with no public access.
