A walk in the woods to a lovely avenue of beech trees. Can be muddy
or boggy places, so boots or sensible shoes are a good idea. To
avoid being locked in please do not park beyond the barrier. Note
the 3.5* difficulty rating and have a good look,
with your eyes only, when you are at ground zero. You should be
able to find it without moving anything.
After placing Selm Muir Fishery, we explored more of these woods
and found the Beech hedges mentioned in the Forestry Commission's
web site. My daughter, Pink Lemming, chose the final hiding place -
hope you like it. The Selm Muir Wood belongs to and is managed by
the Forestry Commission. There are no formal footpaths, but there
are sections of forest track and some rough paths. A belt of mature
Scots pine surrounds younger Sitka spruce areas. There are also
Birch, Rowan, Willow as well as the old Beech hedges in the wood.
It is a popular spot for fishing and also for local photographers
capturing damselflies and other wildlife. Parts of the wood date
from 1860, which is why there is such a rich diversity of flora and
fauna.
