Hyning Scout Wood is a wood between Yealand Conyers and Warton in Lancashire.

Its features include limestone pavement and coppicing for charcoal. The trees include beech, larch, sweet chestnut and Scots pine. Its woodland plants include bluebells, dog's mercury, hart's-tongue fern and Solomon's Seal. Roe deer and both grey and red squirrels are found there.[1] There are the restored remains of a lime kiln.[2] The wood's bluebells are notable.[3]
