Raveley Wood is a tranquil and picturesque woodland area located in Cambridgeshire, England. The wood is dominated by a stunning mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees, including oak, beech, and coniferous species, which provide a vibrant display of colors throughout the seasons. A network of winding paths and trails crisscross the wood, inviting visitors to explore and discover its hidden clearings and secluded glades. The woodland floor is carpeted with a diverse range of flora, including bluebells, wild garlic, and ferns, which add to the wood's natural beauty. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning scenery make Raveley Wood a popular destination for walkers, nature lovers, and those seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
This is a nice little woods for a walk! We saw sheep in the next field and they spoke to us when we was quite and there was even a troll under a bridge! And another little pond but it had no frogs in it! We did have a lovely time like always and it was actually a lovely little walk! JB&HE 18/04/21 #NatureWalkExperts
#wildlifebcn.org No. 9. RAVELEY WOOD. You have to love some of the review comments: "Exactly what it states, a wood!! Not much to see or do, I won't return." I wonder if the name Raveley conjured up an image in their mind: Some hastily set-up speakers, a DJ spinning some scratches out the back of his van, fairy lights, a bloke called Giles wearing a knee length puffer jacket offering out some cheap MDMA, two police officers politely trying to discourage streams of young impromptu revellers from heading into the woods towards the bass... "I won't return." Ominous. Imagine their disgust when they got to Raveley Wood and found the place covered in trees (Pictured). Imagine my disgust when I got here to see the medieval wood bank and tripped over a muddy lump at the entrance. Box ticked; historical artefact discovered within seconds of being here. Imagine my continued disgust when Child Number 2 meandered into a tiny swamp when there was clearly a dry path around it. Box ticked; underlying Jurassic Clay evidenced by poor drainage. Send me my honorary degree in archaeology and geology immediately. The path around is essentially a loop and towards the northern border of the woods is a pond with water of a questionable colour. When we were here, the nearby sheep on the next field were so vocal that we convinced the children they were communing with them. That was the limit to the amount of nature our untrained eyes saw. There were definitely trees though, as we could tell from the informative reviewer previously. The entire place is actually quite pretty, and there is a redeeming pond in the centre of the site (Pictured). Dutch Elm Disease. I keep reading it on these Propaganda Boards (Pictured) and imagine blackened Ents writhing around in misery. How does this work? Are the trees ignoring the social distancing rules? Did they have a 7th tree turn up to their moot when 6 would have been a more sensible number? I have noticed an increase in discarded face masks in woodland areas so at least the Wildlife Trust are attempting to make the trees wear them. Summary: Loved every minute. I might return! The Propaganda Board promised Indiana Jones mixed with Jurassic Park and instead delivered Silence of the Lambs. No rave. No sign of Nigel either, perhaps the farmer back at Keeler Farm shot him. We can hope. Lacking a nearby Railway, oh everybody loves a train! JB & HE 18/4/21 assisted by BB & LB #NatureWalkExperts
