As well as being a marvellous little woodland to explore, Pokehouse Wood has some beguiling folklore attached to it. It is thought that 'Poke' is derived from 'Puck', the up-to-no-good imp of English legend.

In days gone by, Pokehouse Wood grew a reputation for travellers and young maidens losing their way or being led astray by something, or someone, that lived among the trees. In order to warn travellers when dark was approaching, the bell at Aymestrey Church was rang before sunset every day. This was at the behest of a concerned local who donated his own money to make this happen and protect the people.
