Bottom Wood

Bottom Wood is a 14.5-hectare (36-acre) woodland in the English county of Buckinghamshire, located just north of the A40 near the hamlet of Studley Green. Since 1984, the wood has been owned by the Chiltern Society, which manages it as a nature reserve with the help of volunteers. Although an ancient woodland, most of the trees in the wood date from the end of the 1940s or later, as much of the wood was felled during the Second World War to produce Bryant and May matches. The wood is now home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species of butterfly and moth.
==Geography==
Bottom Wood is located north of the A40 between Piddington and Stokenchurch, north-east of Studley Green and east of Beacon's Bottom. It is within the parish of Radnage, with the southern boundary meeting the border of Stokenchurch parish and the eastern edge meeting the boundary with West Wycombe parish. The southern boundary of the wood also used to mark the border between the counties of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, until county lines were redrawn in 1896.〔Figg, et al., ''Bottom Wood'', p. 6.〕
The wood is in a valley, with trees covering the south-facing valley slope. The elevation ranges from above sea level to above sea level.〔Figg, et al., ''Bottom Wood'', p. 31.〕 The wood covers a crescent-shaped area of ; the original wood is , and there is a newer plantation of on an area known as Toothill.〔 The name Toothill comes from the Old English word ''tot'', which means 'look-out', and the top of Toothill provides a good view across the valley in which Bottom Wood is situated.〔Figg, et al., ''Bottom Wood'', p. 23.〕 Typically for the Chilterns, chalk underlies the wood, with some clay and sand.〔〔
There is a central bridleway running through the wood, which formerly provided a route for packhorses carrying goods between Piddington and Oxford, via Beacon's Bottom. A sewer now runs underground along this route, taking waste away from Beacon's Bottom.〔Figg, et al., ''Bottom Wood'', p. 22.〕
