Ivah Hill Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Lancashire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, this ancient forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The woodland is characterized by its dense canopy of tall, mature trees, predominantly oak and beech, which provide ample shade and create a serene atmosphere. The forest floor is covered in a thick carpet of mosses, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the enchanting beauty of the landscape.

Ivah Hill Wood is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Birdsong fills the air, as various species including woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls make their homes within the forest. Squirrels can often be spotted scampering through the trees, while deer and rabbits roam freely in the undergrowth.

Several walking trails wind their way through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its natural wonders. These paths lead to hidden glens, babbling brooks, and stunning viewpoints, providing breathtaking glimpses of the surrounding countryside.

Ivah Hill Wood is managed by the local authorities and is open to the public throughout the year. It is a popular destination for nature walks, picnics, and photography, attracting visitors of all ages.

Pool, Williamson's Gill A small dam holds back an artificial pool at the point where the footpath crosses the beck. It is lower than the nearby settlement at Higher Lythe and seems too grand for an animal water supply.

Footpath to Whitray The right of way runs alongside this pine plantation then enters the block ahead where it is an awkward passage through bog and rough grass - obviously not a popular route.
