The Pinewoods are a 96-acre semi-natural woodland located approximately one kilometre southwest of the town centre. This tranquil area is renowned for its tall Scots pines, diverse flora, and abundant wildlife, including birds such as chiffchaffs, willow warblers, nuthatches, treecreepers, great-spotted woodpeckers, goldcrests, and jays, as well as roe deer and foxes. In spring, the eastern end of the wood boasts a splendid display of azaleas and rhododendrons. The Pinewoods is easily accessible via several footpaths connecting it to Valley Gardens, Harlow Moor Road, and Crag Lane. The terrain features level footpaths, including one with a tarmacadam surface, making it suitable for all visitors. The area is managed by the Pinewoods Conservation Group, which works to preserve its natural beauty and biodiversity. The Pinewoods is also recognized as an Asset of Community Value, ensuring its protection from development threats.
