A small clearing in the woods, where you can watch the squirrels running through the trees. The stream is called Coney Gut and runs the whole length of this woodland. The wood is owned by Devon County Council, and was formerly known as Maidenford Woods until 1990. Just a few yards beyond the trees in the background, is a whole housing estate.
