Image: © Richard Webb Taken: 13 Apr 2016
Oak woods on old mining ground, there are many depressions due to bell pits. The northern part of the wood is marked as woodland on 19th century maps so the mining here was a long time ago. The bit by the canal has bigger bings and was mined on a bigger scale. There are lots of lovely old twisted oaks in here, but also big patches of thorns. The orienteering map is very green.
