Tips

This is part of the Wyre Forest Site of Special Scientific Interest.

This area of the forest is known as "semi-natural ancient forest". It is 'natural' as it has never been replanted, but has been worked on a coppice system for at least 400 years.

In 1951, this area was about to be clear felled by the then owner so it was bought to avoid this.

From the 1930s to the 1980s there was virtually no forestry activity of the sort that had been practised historically, Coppicing started up again in 1980 when the first coupe (a clear felled area leaving only larger trees) was felled, halfway along the ride from here to the top of Unellys Farm field.

The general appearance is now much more like it was in the period up to about 1930 with open areas dolled around.
