Forest Rock wood is on the left.

The following information is from a nearby notice board: Forest Rock Wood has been planted as a result of a partnership between the National Forest Company and ARC Central to provide an important leisure and educational facility in NW Leicestershire. Funding from the National Forest Company has enabled ARC Central to plant some 15000 trees and shrubs in Forest Rock Wood. Eventually this 10 hectare site will merge with nearby woodland and additional valuable habitat wildlife will develop. Approximately 80% of the trees are native broadleaf, such as Oak, Ash, Cherry, Rowan and Field Maple, with the remainder being more exotic species such as Red and Grey Alder, to give early visual impact and protect the slower growing broadleaves. During the past 12 years, ARC has planted in excess of 1.3 million trees as part of its restoration of worked out sites. This joint venture is another valuable example of ARC's long-standing commitment to responsible restoration. There are 1.1 kilometres of new public footpath within this woodland, linking up with existing routes such as the Leicestershire Geological Trail, which gives excellent views into Whitwick Quarry. All paths in Forest Rock Wood converge on the highest point - 200 metres above sea level, with excellent views to the south and west. A stone circle has been built from Whitwick granite with the centre feature a massive ten tonne stone.
