Description :
This long strip of woodland runs adjacent to the Moortown Ring Road and because of this, it has a high
visual amenity value to the neighbouring residents and commuters. It acts as a screen for the houses from the
Ring Road and provides a valuable wildlife corridor that allows free movement within a built-up urban
environment. A rustic wooden bridge spans the ephemeral stream that runs through the wood.
The dominant tree species are
sycamore,
beech,
oak
and ash and the woodland
also contains a small number of
willow,
alder and
poplar trees.
Access and facilities :
Desire lines and unmarked paths run throughout the woodland. Pedestrian access is via the ginnels off West
Park Drive West, West Park Drive East, Roman Avenue and Park Lane.
