Fore Wood is a 20.9-hectare (52-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Hastings in East Sussex.[1][2] It is part of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds nature reserve of the same name.[3]
The woodland in this steep valley is variable and it has been considerably modified in some areas. Flora include hay-scented buckler-fern, greater wood-rush and hard fern, as well as three rare mosses. There is also a rich community of breeding birds.[4]
