Description

Twyford Wood, formerly known as Twyford Forest, is a commercial wood around in Lincolnshire owned by the Forestry Commission, England, an agency of the British Government and managed by its subsidiary, Forest Enterprise (England).HistoryA woodland had existed before the Second World War, covering approximately. During the war, much of the land beyond this was developed from 1943 onwards as RAF North Witham. This was used operationally by the United States USAAF. At the end of air hostilities in Europe, the USAAF handed the site back to the Royal Air Force, who used the site as a bomb-collection dump, from which ordnance was then dispatched for disposal.At the end of hostilities of the Second World War, the woodland and RAF site were taken over by the Forestry Commission in 1945. In the 1950s, they redeveloped all of their woodlands holdings in the River Trent valley with Scots and Corsican pine for use by local industry, leaving the original Quercus robur oaks on the original woodland in place.The name Twyford comes from the former medieval village of that name, south of Colsterworth, Note: there is a similarly named surviving village at SK728103PresentManaged commercially today by Forest Enterprise (England), the commercial woodland lies one mile to the east of Colsterworth. To the south is Beaumont Wood.
