Entry to Orchid Wood
Image: © David Lally Taken: 2 Jul 2008
From the small car park adjacent to Sawley Road, Draycott. Quite recently planted by the borough, Orchid Wood is a mixed plantation of Alder, Birch, Lime, Oak, and Hawthorn (to name the ones I spotted this evening) with a few conifers thrown-in. Toward the South Western edge there are some large gorse bushes, which may predate the planting, they certainly appear older than the trees.
