Five Acre Grove () is a nature reserve in Gloucestershire.〔Kelham, A, Sanderson, J, Doe, J, Edgeley-Smith, M, et al., 1979, 1990, 2002 editions, 'Nature Reserves of the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation/Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust'〕 The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).〔(Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 2, Key Wildlife Sites )〕 The site is managed by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and has been leased from the owners since 1966.〔 ==Location and habitat== The grove is one of a diminished number of ancient woodlands in the Severn Vale. It is between Eastington and Leonard Stanley. The railway line which runs between Bristol and Gloucester passes through it. The reserve is three distinct areas. The wood is shown as a larger area in Sir Isaac Taylor's 1777 map of the county. Railway construction cut off five acres to the east in the 1840s. This does not give the reserve its name as ''Five Acre'' is a corruption of ''Fyfacres'', which was its name in 1530. Its local name is ''Bluebell Wood''.〔 The wood grows on heavy Lower Lias clay. The grove is described as ancient oak and ash woodland and it known for its spring flowers, bird life and bird song.〔
