About this wood

Quiet and off the beaten track, Tyrrel’s Wood is a welcome spot for visitors and wildlife alike. At the centre is an ancient woodland site, named Boscus de Grischave in records dating back to 1251, and believed to have been around since the Ice Age - the presence of bluebells and wood melick indicate this. It has been designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) because of the immense variety of woodland packed into such a small area.

Your thoughts on this wood

"What a shame that the few Bluebells in the wood appear to be of the Spanish variety!! In the interests of trying to protect any local English Bluebells perhaps these Spanish interlopers should be removed?"
