Winter Wonderland: Be amazed at the wonderful shapes of the trees now revealed. Blow away the cobwebs and lift the soul.
See clearly now the leaves have gone: Head for the highpoints and enjoy the view!

About this wood

The majority of the site was purchased by the Woodland Trust on the 3/4/95 with substantial contributions made by the Countryside Commission and local support. The site was extended in 26/03/2003 by a further 4.98Ha through a land swap with the Forestry Commission, which gave the Trust the adjacent mature partially ancient woodland of Miller Hill and Wigfield Woods.
