The Land

Day or night, whatever the time of year, Wild Ways is a beautiful place to be. Of its eighty acres, the great majority is woodland. The many varieties of native trees include hazel, willow, yew, and the 'faery trinity' of oak, ash and May. Wild flowers include bluebells, meadowsweet, ramsons, wood anemones, cowslips, St. John's wort and many others. The woods are home to many birds and animals, including buzzards, robins, jackdaws, jays, rabbits, badgers, foxes, roe and fallow deer. Borle Brook, which forms the western boundary of the land, harbours water voles, kingfishers and dragonflies.
