Abbot's Wood

Late Autumn and the Oak leaves are a perfect orange. Abbot's Wood is a Forestry Commision plantation that is slowly being returned to natural woodland as part of PAWS - Planting Ancient Woodland Sites scheme. Areas of conifers are cleared and native trees are planted or allowed to return by themselves. As this happens the biodiversity increases, it is now an excellent place to see Nightingales and several species of butterfly.

On Saturday afternoon the low sun did a great job of picking out the Autumn colour through the trees.
