01.Three centuries ago, this wood was...

A hunting lodge

A King's Garden

Records of this forest date back in the 14th century. For centuries, it remained a hunting ground, thus being spared the extension of the vineyards and orchards installed by the Cister Order throughout the region. During the 20th century, the town grew, surrounding the woods, which became the heart of Bombarral, where many of the most important social events still take place. It currently occupies 40.000 square metres and is home to the ‘Wine Festival’, the ‘Rocha Pear Fair’, the Children's Festival, Firefly and Bat Watching, among others.

A natural reserve

A Mediterranean ecosystem is very well represented here. This region has a Mediterranean climate, with cooler summer temperatures and higher humidity/precipitation values than those typical of this climate. Added to this are deep soils, which together have created a perfect setting for the trees and shrubs in this woodland to grow.
