TERRACE WOOD, COCKEN.

TERRACE WOOD, COCKEN.

 

The Terrace Wood incorporates Terrace Walk and Nun's Walk. This is an interesting tract of Ancient Woodland that hugs the road. Diving past in April you will be greeted with a fine display of bluebells. There are some interesting botanical features here. There are a few huge sweet chestnut stumps. Old Hornbeam coppice, small leaved lime, fly honeysuckle and patches of monkshood.
