Adjacent to the superb Brockholes Nature Reserve, Boilton Wood is part of the longest stretch of ancient woodland in Lancashire. Trees are believed to have occupied this patch, a slope above the River Ribble, for thousands of years. Spring is a particularly beautiful time to visit, when a classic carpet of bluebells bloom on the woodland floor. If you get lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the roe deer that often wander in these parts.
