A new Wood planted in 2000. Ideal for families. The children will love the willow weaving sculptures.
Key Elements of Neptune Wood are: The creation of 4.5 ha woodland (10,215 trees) of French, Spanish and British oak; A 130m avenue of hornbeam leading up to the entrance of Paradise Wood, (the forest research centre of the Northmoor Trust); A woodland pond to create wetland habitat and increase biodiversity; A small area of woodland representing the other species utilised in the construction of the fleet; An oak arboretum; Woodland trails with full disabled access; A small car park (400m2) for approximately six cars; Interpretation boards; Full open access to the public. Neptune Wood is part of the idea behind ‘Trafalgar Woods’, which was originated with the Woodland Trust. 2005 was the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar when the British navy under Lord Nelson defeated the combined navies of France and Spain. The Woodland Trust is working with the Society for Nautical Research (SNR) to mark the occasion. The Trafalgar Woods project formed part of the Trafalgar Festival, endorsed by the Official Nelson Commemoration Committee and Sea Britain, 2005.
