Telegraph Woods
Telegraph Woods
This beautiful 19 hectare area of woodland features Douglas firs and sweet chestnut coppice as well as patches of heath-land, a variety of habitats and a rich diversity of plants and animals. Roe deer which inhabit the wood can sometimes be seen feeding in the surrounding fields.
Near the Telegraph Road entrance to the wood, the remains of an Armada beacon can still be seen, marked by a perfectly circular bank. Further east is the site of an Iron Age Fort dating back to 600BC. With its way-marked paths, picnic tables and spectacular views, Telegraph Woods is a lovely place to spend time.
Parking: Lay-bys on Telegraph Road or Moorhill Road
