April to July and September to NovemberAbout the reserve
The woodland has developed on abandoned farmland and heath during the past 60-70 years. It shows succession from open heathland to birch scrub and birch/oak woodland. The understorey is mainly elder and hawthorn with bramble and stands of gorse and broom. There is a ground cover of heather and wavy hair-grass in the open areas. A good variety of fungi can be found. The wood attracts many birds; 52 species have been recorded.
The wood is situated to the south-west of Haxey, on the west side of Langholme Lane. There are two entrance gates along the eastern edge of the reserve. A waymarked, circular route can be followed from either of these gates. The access track leading to the reserve is in constant use by the neighbouring farmer. There is parking for a maximum of two cars in each of the areas adjacent to the access gates leading into the reserve. Please leave plenty of room for large farm vehicles/machinery to pass.
