Tewin Orchard and Hopkyns Wood is a 4.3 hectare nature reserve in Tewin in Hertfordshire. It is managed by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust.[1]

Tewin Orchard is an eighty-year old fruit orchard donated to the trust by its last private owner, Molly Hopkyns. It has a variety of Hertfordshire apple varieties, including the Hitchin Pippin, which was propagated from the last known tree.[2] The orchard attracts many birds, such as fieldfares and redwings. Hopkyns Wood is dominated by oaks and hornbeams, with ground flora of bluebells and ramsons. It also has a mature badger sett.[1]

There is access from a footpath from Orchard Road.[1]
