Badby Wood is a 47.2hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) south of Badby in Northamptonshire.[1] [2]
This is ancient semi-natural woodland on acidic soils, and it has been forested for over 700 years. It is mainly pedunculate oak, with varied ground flora including creeping soft-grass, wood anemone, yellow archangel and bluebell. A small marsh has very diverse herbs.[3]
There is access by footpaths from Badby. Much of the eastern half of the wood falls outside the SSSI.[2]
