Broomhall Gorse is a small woodland located in the county of Cheshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 20 acres, it is situated near the village of Broomhall, close to the town of Nantwich.

The woodland is characterized by its thickets of gorse bushes, which give it its name. Gorse is a spiny evergreen shrub that produces bright yellow flowers, adding a splash of color to the landscape. In addition to gorse, the woodland is also home to a variety of other trees and plants, including oak, birch, and holly.

Broomhall Gorse is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and walkers due to its tranquil and picturesque setting. The woodland provides a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, small mammals, and insects. Visitors may be lucky enough to spot species such as woodpeckers, foxes, and butterflies while exploring the area.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its beauty and enjoy peaceful walks. These paths lead through the gorse thickets, under the shade of the trees, and across small streams that meander through the woodland.

Broomhall Gorse is managed by the local authorities, who ensure its conservation and maintenance. The woodland offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life, providing a haven for both wildlife and visitors seeking a natural escape.
