Footpath through Whiddon Valley Woods, Barnstaple
Footpath through Whiddon Valley Woods, on the eastern edge of Barnstaple. Early morning walks with the dog are frequently accompanied by the squirrels running through the trees, and if the dog is lucky, across the path in front of us!
The wood is owned by Devon County Council, and was formerly known as Maidenford Woods until 1990. The area is well-maintained, with frequent coppicing, and community projects to maintain interest and keep it clean and in good condition

Whiddon Valley Woods, Barnstaple
A small clearing in the woods, where you can watch the squirrels running through the trees. The stream is called Coney Gut and runs the whole length of this woodland. The wood is owned by Devon County Council, and was formerly known as Maidenford Woods until 1990. Just a few yards beyond the trees in the background, is a whole housing estate.
