Burnham Beeches

Forest northwest of Slough, near the village of Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England; area 324 ha/600 acres. It is the remains of an ancient forest, and consists of a number of large beech trees. In 1879 the City of London Corporation acquired the trees for public use. Dorneywood, owned by the National Trust, lies 1 km/1.5 mi north of the village of Burnham.

Thomas Gray, in a letter to Horace Walpole dated September 1737, remarked on the picturesque beauty of the woods.
