Berwick Woods are a privately owned woodland open to the public. It is a restored sand and gravel quarry. It was officially opened to the public in 1999. There is woodland and meadows on the site.

Site owners Tarmac Southern Ltd worked closely on this restoration with Thames Chase and the London Borough of Havering: to create an informal site with a strong arts theme.

When exploring Berwick Woods, look out for the gabion seats of artist Steven Follen and the signage of letter cutter Gary Breeze.  Gary’s work was so distinctive that it was used as inspiration for the Forestry Commission’s signage on adjoining Berwick Glades
