Joydens Wood houses an ancient woodland that was first recorded in a document in the 17th century. The housing estate lies east of the woodland. This DA2 wood is part of the Woodland Trust that manages more than 1,000 wood areas. Three species of British newts live in the nine ponds that can be found in the forest. Remains of 2,000 years old settlements have been unearthed. Small chalk caves known as deneholes have been found here. More than 1,500 years ago, Saxon settlers built a dike that can still be seen. Faesten Dic, the name of this dike, translates to “the strong dike”. It is one of the Joydens Wood landmarks.
