About this wood

An important feature on the Derwent Valley landscape, Pontburn Woods are popular with local people, who enjoy good access via a comprehensive path network. Dissected by the Derwent Walk, the site is actually a mosaic of conifer high forest and broadleaves, including ancient woodland and represents one of the valley's largest remaining areas of deciduous woodland.
