Path through Arley Wood

The ancient Arley Wood was turned into a conifer plantation in the 1960s, with a great loss of wildlife; note the ranks of trees of a single species and the dense undergrowth of bracken. It is now slowly being replanted with native broadleaved species such as oak. See Image] and Image Though the loss is greatly to be regretted, it remains a peaceful place, beautiful in its way, the rustling of the trees blotting out human noise, apart from the occasional passing of aircraft overhead or the hooting of a train on the nearby railway.
