The Peak District & central England - Sheila Ashton

Trees and forests are crucial to life on our planet: they generate oxygen, play host to a spectacular variety of wildlife and provide us with raw materials and shelter. They offer us tranquillity, inspire us and refresh our souls. Exploring Woodland is a series of guides from the Woodland Trust that describe and illustrate 101 woodland sites in different parts of the UK. Ilustrated with site maps and photographs, these are the essential woodland guides for all tree lovers. Both privately owned and public woods are included in the guides. There is a map of each site and information on how to find it, the type of woodland, the facilities available and what to look out for on your visit, including the wildlife that you may meet there. All sites have been visited by independent researchers so that the information in each book is up-to-date.

Exploring Woodland: Peak District and Central England covers the ancient woodland of the central counties of England from South Yorkshire through Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the Peak District to Leicestershire, and east to Lincolnshire. It includes Sherwood Forest, perhaps England's best-known forest of all.
