Bagworth Wood

Bagworth Wood is a 26ha Tender Scheme winner from 2000 on the edge of Bagworth. The woodland is predominantly a commercial poplar crop with woody shrubs to add diversity and wildlife habitat. A large area of wetland have been retained. Groups of native black poplar have been planted in the wetter areas by the pond. A permissive riding route has been created around the perimeter of part of the site and a new dedicated footpath links existing Rights of Way across the site to those to the west. Bagworth Wood is adjacent to the National Forest 'Coal Tips to Country Parks' medium-distance walk.
