Dulwich Wood, together with the adjacent Sydenham Hill Wood, is the largest extant part[1] of the ancient Great North Wood in the London Borough of Southwark.[2] The two woods were separated after the relocation of The Crystal Palace in 1854 and the creation of the high level line in 1865.[3] The wood is privately owned[4] and managed by the Dulwich Estate.[3]
