Baker's Wood is a small hamlet and area of mixed beech and oak woodland in Buckinghamshire, England, lying on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills. The landscape is typically chalky and gently rolling, with ancient footpaths, hedgerows and a patchwork of pasture and small woodlands that attract walkers and wildlife alike.
Historically the area grew from agricultural roots and you can still see older cottages and farm buildings dotted about; today it sits within the London commuter belt so the local economy is a mix of farming, small local businesses and residents who travel into London for work. Social life tends to revolve around village halls, footpath networks and seasonal community events, while the woods remain valued for nature watching and quiet country recreation.
