Hazel Pear Wood

Hazel Pear Wood was planted in 1998/99 as part of the Woodland Trust's Millennium Woodland On Your Doorstep (WOYD) programme. It was designed and planted by people in the local community. At the heart of the wood there is a standing stone with a time capsule buried beneath it. The wood's name comes from a local variety of pear called the Hazel Pear and twelve of these trees were planted throughout the site.
