This gorgeous woodland sits on the side of a sandstone ridge and is a mixture of broad-leaf and conifer trees. While heavily wooded, there are several viewpoints that offer fantastic views of the flatter, patchwork landscape to the south.

Significant quarrying took place here and many buildings in the surroundings were built out of Grinshill sandstone. Today, this site is protected and is a thriving habitat for wildlife and flora.
