Hengrove Wood. Beware: the post code is NOT precise. W3W will take you through the expensive Wendover Woods CP. The start point is a free parking area at the exit of the Wendover Woods CP. So use these directions: leave the A41 for Wendover and after half a mile turn left to follow the B4009. After three quarters of a mile, take left turn towards St Leonards. Follow this road for 1.9 miles and look for a "slow concealed entrance" sign (see photo) and turn right into the woods. The car park is 100 yds up the track on the right.
