Shillito Wood is a small plantation on the edge of the Eastern Moors, with plenty of space for dogs to run around off the lead, all year round. During bird breeding season, 1st March-31st July, dog owners are required to keep dogs on leads elsewhere across the moors. The damp woodland environment means this is great place to discover fungi during autumn. There is an abundance of bird life at Shillito; great spotted woodpecker, yellow hammer and blue tits are often spotted on the feeders. The medieval cross which stands in the woods marks the original boundary of land leased by Lord of Barlow to the monks of Louth Park Abbey in Lincolnshire.

Lots of bird-watching interest in the Great Grey Shrikes that have set up home there. I saw one through a guy's telescope but was unable to get a photo.

Quiet narrow lane on good tarmac

Nice place with a good food and drink selection.

Shillito Wood Car Park. Shillito is a small wood, but a great place to start a ride or walk over the Eastern Moor, along the famous Baslow/Curbar/Froggatt edges, Then there's Burbage Rocks and Houndkirk, Jumble Road and Lady Cannings. If you're really brave and fit, there's also Blacka Moor, where you will find Devils Elbow.

Fast downhill but beware farm traffic can leave lots of mud on the road so approach with care.

Rumored that the car park is used for unusual nocturnal activities - advise caution before flashing your headlights after dark!
