Langley Wood, one of the beautiful remnants of ancient woodland at Heartwood Forest is now home to a selection of willow creatures.
Print off this spotter sheet and the next time you visit Heartwood see if you can spot all of them. And make sure you come back and let us know what you’ve found, have fun!
Nice woods, but very hard to find no signposts, we had to ask the locals. Unfortunatley there is not even a gruffalo which the children were expecting to see. altogether a let down, shame! could be so much better.
Hi Lisa
Glad you liked the woods, they’ll be even better in a few weeks time when the bluebells start to flower! But sorry the Gruffalo trail was a let down. It was designed by their PR company to launch the release of the DVD. They were looking for a woodland to do this and we already had willow animals installed at Heartwood and they thought it would be a nice place to do this. It’s not designed to be a permanent feature, however, our willow animals are.
I also understand that it can often be difficult to find Heartwood if you don’t know the area. The Heartwood project is a new project for the Woodland Trust and many elements are still be implemented such a car park, appropriate signage, further walks, children’s play areas etc.
Hope you’ll visit again soon and see this exciting project develop.
