Fenside Woods

Beech Wood and Grange Wood: bluebells, snowdrops, carvings, a play trail and a peaceful green burial ground.

Beech Wood

Twenty-three acres in three parts

Beech Wood is made up of three linked areas. The established Beech Wood in the centre is carpeted with bluebells and daffodils in spring. To the south, Pioneer Wood has a pond and an amphitheatre. To the north lies the Beech Wood green burial site.

Along the way you will find a collection of chainsaw carvings and a children's play trail, so there is always something to discover, whatever your age.

Grange Wood

A small woodland near residential streets, Grange Wood has all-weather paths and naturalised woodland flowers, especially snowdrops in early spring. It is a lovely short walk close to home.

Through the seasons

What to see

Late winter

Snowdrops appear among the trees at Grange Wood, a first sign that spring is on its way.

Spring

Daffodils and bluebells light up the central woodland at Beech Wood.

Autumn

Beech leaves turn gold and copper along the paths, one of the best times to visit.
