Picnic mat? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Adventurous spirit? Check! A visit to Spring Wood provides fun for all the family. Let your kids roam around among the bluebells and butterflies while you sit back and relax with a book and a good dose of holiday spirit. Easily accessible from Whalley with ample parking, Spring Wood has various easy-to-follow paths ideal for dogs and walkers of all abilities.

Much lauded for its bluebell and ramson (wild garlic) displays, this semi-natural ancient woodland is one of the best examples in Lancashire and has Biological Heritage status. There is an access for all route, one leading to the centre of the wood, suitable for buggies and trampers, and a steeper path, climbing to the summit via the arboretum. Highly recommended for woodland enthusiasts or those who just enjoy listening to Warblers, Jays and Chiffchaffs whilst eating ice cream and watching squirrels feeding.
