Furzehill Wood is a woodland near Colehill in Dorset, England. It covers a total area of 0.84 hectares (2.08 acres). It is owned and managed by the Woodland Trust.[1] In the past the site was known as Furze Hill.[2] In 1982 the land was given to the Woodland Trust by a neighbouring landowner.[1] Until recently the area was sparsely wooded, but after some replanting, mature oak and ash trees now grow here, together with cherry, hazel, black poplar, and conifers.[1][3] The name Furzehill refers to the gorse (once known as 'furze') that used to cover the local area.
