Twyford Wood, formerly known as Twyford Forest, is a commercial wood around grid reference SK948230 in Lincolnshire owned by the Forestry Commission, England, an agency of the British Government and managed by its subsidiary, Forest Enterprise (England).
History
About a third of the wood is long-established and the rest was planted with conifers, soon after 1950 around the runways of an airfield of the World War II period. The air station was called RAF North Witham. It lies one mile to the east of Colsterworth and is 195 hectares. To the south is Beaumont Wood.
Nature conservation
The butterfly reserves are managed by the Lincolnshire branch of Butterfly Conservation. It is home to the Dingy Skipper and the Grizzled Skipper.
