Foxcote Reservoir and Wood is a 48.3hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest between Akeley and Maids Moreton in Buckinghamshire, England.[1] [2] An area of 34 hectares is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.[3]
The reservoir was created in 1956 by damming a small tributary of the River Great Ouse, and is important for wintering wildfowl, especially shoveler ducks and Bewick's swans. The area around the reservoir has woodland, meadows and ponds. Plants include the greater butterfly orchid and the herb Paris quadrifolia.[1]
