Clay Pit Strip is a woodland area located in Gloucestershire, England. Covering approximately 50 acres, it is situated within the larger Forest of Dean, a renowned ancient forest known for its diverse flora and fauna. The strip gets its name from the clay pits that were once active in the area, supplying clay for local industries.

The woodland is primarily composed of mixed deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and ash, creating a rich and vibrant ecosystem. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, foxes, and numerous bird species. The canopy formed by the tall trees provides shelter for smaller mammals and birds, while the undergrowth supports a range of insects and invertebrates.

Clay Pit Strip is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and walkers, offering a network of well-maintained footpaths that wind through the woodland. These paths allow visitors to explore the diverse habitat and enjoy the tranquility of the forest environment. The strip also features a small pond, attracting additional wildlife and serving as a focal point for nature observation.

Managed by the local authorities, Clay Pit Strip is carefully maintained to preserve its natural beauty and biodiversity. This includes regular tree planting initiatives to ensure the woodland remains sustainable for future generations.

Overall, Clay Pit Strip in Gloucestershire offers a peaceful and picturesque woodland experience, showcasing the natural beauty of the Forest of Dean and providing a haven for wildlife and nature enthusiasts alike.
