    Hiking

    Forest Wood is an ancient forest and serene woodland sanctuary in the Peak District. A visit here, and you'll be captivated by the tranquil environment and peaceful trails.
    Not the most decisive name but this is home to Luds Church.
    There are some old trees here and it has a very good mystical feel to it.
    I had to stop against a few of the older trees to rest my palms and forehead and close my eyes to focus on the sounds around me.
    It's a very comforting experience.
    Comparable to being enveloped in nature's womb.
