This area is made up of ten woods scattered across Herefordshire. They consist of a mix of broadleaf and conifer plantations and include Haugh Wood which is entirely a SSSI and Frith and Conigree woods which are within the Malverns AONB.
Probably the most famous Forest in the world Sherwood Forest is an area 20 miles long by 6 miles wide. Within this area lies a tapestry of woodland, farmland and ancient heath. The Forestry Commission manages numerous woods in Sherwood Forest and many of these are open to the public.
The National Forest is one of England’s most ambitious environmental projects. Across parts of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, 200 square miles are being transformed, blending ancient woodland with new planting to create a new national Forest. Whether you want bustling attractions, quiet relaxation, gentle walking or active leisure – you’ll find it here.
