'The Lost Gateway' is located near the Barrow Road entrance of Woolley Wood, an ancient woodland with a number of archaeological features. It was first documented in 1597 as ‘Woollywoodside.' The woodland was managed on a system of coppice with standards from the 16th century until the latter part of the 19th century, whereupon a system of ‘high forest’ was introduced, along with plantings of beech and hornbeam. The gateway is made from reclaimed stone and was recently constructed by Mick Humphries.
