Description

Details

In contrast, Queen’s Wood displays a fine mixture of wildflowers in several parts of the wood, amongst which are bluebells, wood anenomes and daffodils.
Queen’s Wood has a wilder, less managed and more challenging feel and consequently features a greater mixture of flora and fauna.
Both woods feature ancient – possibly pre-historic – earthworks
