Oxhey Woods is a 98 hectare Local Nature Reserve in South Oxhey in Hertfordshire. It is owned and managed by Three Rivers District Council.
It is mainly semi-natural woodland, and some areas date back to the last Ice Age, 11,500 years ago. The range of habitats make it an important ecological site. Plants include bluebells, anemones and violets and the rare wild service tree.
The woods have parking facilities, picnic benches and a trail. There is access from Nairn Green, Oxhey Drive and Prestwick Road.

Starting at the Thames at Erith and finishing on the opposite north bank at Coldharbour, the Loop (London Outer Orbital Path) is 150 miles long, passing through numerous woods, commons and parks and on waterside paths alongside the Grand Union Canal and London rivers such as the Colne, Crane, Cray, Darent and Ingrebourne.
