Siccaridge Wood

Siccaridge is a wonderful example of an ancient coppiced woodland, a joy at any time of year.

An ancient coppiced wood with fantastic displays of bluebells, wild garlic and wood anemones in spring. The woodland provides a perfect habitat for the rare dormouse. The open rides provide excellent habitat for a number of species of butterfly such as comma, pearl-bordered fritillary and silver washed fritillary. The disused canal at the bottom of the valley now provides wetland habitat where large stands of yellow-flag iris can be seen.
