About Church Wood

Peacock nectaring on teasel

This is a beautiful place for a quiet woodland walk. You can take a stroll along dappled paths through beech, ash and oak trees. In springtime you can enjoy a carpet of sweet scented bluebells and there is also a flourishing wild flower meadow. Here you can see common woodland birds including blackcaps, chiffchaffs, robins and thrushes. Listen out, too for the drumming of woodpeckers and the loud ringing 'tuit tuit tuit' of the nuthatch.
