This ancient woodland still bears the scars of the industrial revolution; the humps and hollows of past coal mining and iron working still visible. These days, you will find Thorncliffe Wood to be a tranquil and beautiful spot—a far cry from the industry of days gone by . Whilst the woodland is predominantly sycamore, you can also see a significant number of oak trees, as well as beech, ash, willow, birch and elm.
