In Culvery Wood
Looking north through the newer area of trees: this part was planted in a Millennium project by the Woodland Trust. There were many hornbeams here and were complemented by fresh additions. The woodland originally was on the lower slopes by the River Chew and was once known as Calvary Wood in the 1800s.

Aftermath of the July 68 floods at Pensford
The devastating floods of July 1968 swepted away the A37 road bridge at Pensford but the older bridge in the centre of the village survived. The Army were soon involved with building a Bailey Bridge to span the River Chew. This is all that were left of cars that were swept away by the flood and deposited here. The information is documented on the following link;- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chew_Stoke_flood_of_1968

It was bought and planted by the Woodland Trust in 1997 in order to create a new area of woodland for the millennium. Supported by various funds and grants, the land was planted with new oak, ash, field maple and plenty of hornbeam,
