Perry Woods is a 67.9-hectare (168-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south-east of Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire. It is composed of three woods, the larger Perry West Wood and the smaller Perry Wood and Ash Wood.[1][2]

These ancient woods are of the ash/maple type, an increasingly scarce habitat over its range in lowland England. The rich ground flora includes plants indicative of ancient woodland such as wood melick and early-purple orchid. A system of rides provides valuable habitats for invertebrates.[3]

There is access to Perry West Wood from a footpath along its northern boundary.
