Chapel Wood is a typical north Devon broadleaved woodland, sited on a steep hillside, crowned by an Iron-Age hill fort, with a stream running down either side. Management consists largely of the gradual removal on non-native species planted during the last century and their replacement with native trees. The wood takes its name from the remains of Spreacombe Chapel and well, a scheduled Ancient monument dating from 1270. The site was donated to the RSPB in 1951 and was the first reserve owned in south-west England.
