An idyllic spot on the steep banks of the Raughton Gill, a tributary of the River Petteril. On this May morning cuckoos were calling and several pairs of orange tip butterflies were consorting on the fringes of the woodland. Apart from the distant hum of traffic and the occasional swish of a passing train, it was hard to believe that the site is tightly sandwiched between the M6 motorway and the West Coast Main Line railway.
