Armridding Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Lancashire, England. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, this enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 100 acres, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The wood is characterized by its diverse range of trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a stunning display of colors throughout the seasons. In spring, the forest floor is carpeted with vibrant bluebells and wildflowers, while in autumn, the trees transform into a fiery palette of reds, oranges, and yellows.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained trails, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore its beauty on foot. As you wander through the woods, you may encounter various wildlife species such as deer, foxes, and a wide variety of bird species, making it a fantastic spot for birdwatching.

Armridding Wood is not only a haven for nature enthusiasts but also a site of historical significance. The wood is believed to have been part of a larger medieval hunting forest and still retains some remnants of its ancient past.

For those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature, Armridding Wood offers a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Whether you choose to hike through the woodland, have a picnic in one of the clearings, or simply sit and enjoy the sounds of nature, this Lancashire gem promises a rejuvenating experience for all who visit.

Footbridge in Limes Wood The footbridge spans a deep chasm that contains a rushing stream - the content is the result of the merging of Cow Ark Brook and Mill Brook. The bridge is substantial, but the footpath is crumbling into decay and is hard to follow as it is smothered in vegetation.

Footpath heading towards Paper Mill Wood The footpath leaving Limes Wood is hard to follow, not being very evident on the ground and no indicating signage. It only appears in physical form at this point, before submerging into grass.

River Hodder in Paper Mill Wood The river in a particularly pleasant setting - but the footpath I was following completely disappeared and progress through the woods is almost impossible due to the extreme steep sided nature of the terrain. No footpath signs were in evidence, although I found a battered stile which was beyond useless.
