Andrew's Wood

Developed on a series of fields once farmed by the villagers of Stanton, Andrew's Wood has a mix of habitats including broadleaved woodland, herb-rich and marshy grassland and wet heath.

It supports a diverse flora, with species such as black knapweed, betony and marsh pennywort. Of particular note is the largest British colony of the rare heath lobelia. The wide range of habitats provides a home for many animals.

Among these are breeding tree pipits, dormice and many butterflies including the silver-washed fritillary. A great place for a walk at any time of year, the two footpaths lead you thorough stunning wildflower and butterfly meadows and woodland teaming with birds.

Open all year round, but late summer best for rare meadow wildflowers
Facilities: Information Boards, Visitor Centre, Watersports.

There are two circular way-marked trails to help you explore. One will take you about 30 minutes and the other about an hour.
