About this wood

Two separate woodlands Swineshead (34.4 ha) and Spanoak (11.8 ha) separated by 1 Km of intensively farmed arable land. A wide hedged Byway links the two sites. Prior to Trust acquisition both woodlands had been managed over the previous 5-10 years primarily for their sporting value. Swineshead wood has an established ride system, Spanoak’s rides are more recent and species poor.
