Bould Wood is a woodland in Oxfordshire, close to the border of Gloucestershire, of which 144 acres have been designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is by the hamlet from which it is named, Bould, and to the north of Shipton-under-Wychwood.[1]
An area of 57 acres is Foxholes nature reserve, managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.[2]
This site is mainly ancient semi-natural woodland, but it also has two streams, a pond and a wet meadow. The lower plant flora is diverse. Fungi include tricholoma toadstools and Cudoniella clavus, while there are lichens such as Cladonia polydactyla, Catillaria prasina and Graphis scripta.
