Pewterspear Wood

This small mature broadleaf woodland comprises oak birch sycamore and an understorey of rowan elder holly yew hazel and hawthorn. Ground flora includes nettle bramble red campion ivy fern and patches of bluebell and foxglove. There is a pond and ditches in the northern part of the wood. A surfaced footpath route provides good public access in the wood. Although it is only small the woodland provides a wildlife refugee in the increasingly urban surroundings of Appleton to the south of Warrington.
