Chase Wood is part of the Cranborne Chase AONB and includes a fine area of wood pasture, with recent conifer planting, on chalk. At this time of year it will be good for identifying epiphytes, such as Ulota and Orthotrichum, and there should be a good range of species in the area.

Park at Shermel Gate at ST989192, just beyond Deanland on Dean Road from Sixpenny Handley
