Ancient mossy oakwoods like this one were once widespread along the Atlantic. The trees are covered in a lush growth of mosses, ferns, liverworts and lichens, which thrive in this damp west coast climate. The woodland is also home to a wide variety of birdlife.
Open
Best time to visit: April to mid-August for woodland birds, tree mosses, lichens and ferns.
