This 15-hectare woodland nature reserve features a variety of tree species, including oak, ash, and hazel, and is home to a range of wildlife such as birds, bats, and insects. The woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells in the spring and is crisscrossed by several walking trails, including the Jubilee Wood Trail, which offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The reserve also features a number of sculptures and art installations, adding an extra layer of interest to the natural beauty of the woodland.
It's extremely muddy as you'd expect it to be, but unfortunately it is blighted by rubbish too. As Ripleys main council owned site it's a pity that they don't look after it better, since the farm closed down the surrounding area is a disgrace infact walking round the outskirts of the farm shows a complete lack of care for everything. The fields, fences + paths are a disgrace in places + are none exsistant infront of the farm entrance this is not due to the weather, but a complete lack of care also the majority of the signed paths still have dangerous styles to navigate. The area just seems to be a dumping ground either in sight or buried over the years . Come on all concerned get your fingers out and make the area something to be proud of especially the Pit head buildings . And that doesn't mean just planting more trees !
Bit of a disappointment, not well maintained footpaths. Remember to bring your wellies. We did try to get to these buildings but they were fenced off with no signs of any public access, they didn't look all the safe anyway.
Brilliant walk Look at my video of mill
A great asset of trails through beautiful wood and grassland. More signage would be help to make the most of this beautiful area.
We had a lovely walk getting to the place I found it a bit boring but the kids had fun so that's all that matters
Beautiful place to visit and walk the dog it's heavenly x
