Jeff's Wood

A 17ha woodland on the northern boundary of the Forest at Bretby. It has excellent views all round from a prominent location.

The woodland consists entirely of broadleaves, many chosen for their landscape impact, such as sweet chestnut, wild cherry, small leaved lime and field maple.  The 30m strip along the road boundary is being managed as a lowland hay meadow.  Parkland trees along the roadside reflect the mixed urban and rural character of the site. These include plane, horse chestnut and oak.
