At Heartwood Forest near Sandridge, St Albans, we have the exciting opportunity to create an 850 acre wood from open fields in just 12 years. With your help we can transform a site with little value for wildlife, into beautiful broadleaved woodland, a natural resource which can support more species than any other land habitat.

There is currently no designated car park at Heartwood Forest so we advise you to come by other means where possible or use the Sandridge Village Hall car park.

Full of ‘hands-on’ farmyard fun, there’s also giant slides, scramble nets, ball cannons, rock climbing, go karts and crazy golf.
