What we know of Bentley Wood is that it was an area of private land that was left to a trust with the specific aim that the woodland should be managed and made available as a publicly accessible space. The trust does, from time to time, open the wood so that vehicular traffic may enter to reach its main meeting point called The Barn. From the Barn there are often forays into the wood to appreciate the flowers, mushrooms, moths, butterflies and other natural history features. These are nearly all free to participants. News of the events is usually placed in the Newsletter so that's the best place to look initially.
