The woodland was purchased in February 2015 by Dowdeswell Conservation Limited from Severn Trent Water PLC. The purchase was funded by Julian Dunkerton as a gift for the local community.
The charity is pleased to welcome considerate walkers, cyclists and horse riders to the woodlands for normal recreational activities. We are carrying out forestry works aimed at improving access and the quality of woodland environment. For safety and environmental reasons, access has been restricted to the public rights of way and the permissive paths marked as open on our Visit us page.
Access will be restricted and or extended from time to time, according to the needs of of wildlife and safety. We have no staff so the car park and woodland are not patrolled. The terrain is wild and steep. There is a deep and dangerous reservoir adjoining the property.
