Large areas of the fenland in the north-eastern side of the county have none. There are significant numbers in the south, toward Suffolk. More of the woods are found in the western half of the county, with three near Peterborough.

The ancient woods of Oxfordshire are concentrated in three distinct areas. In the south are woods of the Chiltern Hills. A second cluster lies to the east of Oxford. The Cotswolds woods on the western side of the county include those in the Royal Forest of Wychwood. Oxfordshire has nearly {{Convert|18,000|ha||abbr=on}} of woodland in total (6.9% of its area), two-thirds of which are in woods of over {{Convert|10|ha||abbr=on}}. {{Convert|1,839|ha||abbr=on}} of woodland is represented in the 17 ancient woods listed below.

Somerset is a rural county of rolling hills such as the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels. Many of the woodland areas have been designated as SSSIs with some being managed by the Avon Wildlife Trust or Somerset Wildlife Trust. Woodland covers seven per cent of the land area of the county.{{cite web|url=http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/somerset.pdf/$FILE/somerset.pdf|title=National inventory of woodland and trees: Somerset|publisher=Forestry Commission|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111014082942/http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/somerset.pdf/$FILE/somerset.pdf|archive-date=14 October 2011|accessdate=25 November 2011}}
