Wrinehill Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Staffordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 35 hectares, the wood is nestled in the countryside, providing a tranquil and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The wood is predominantly made up of broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense canopy, casting dappled sunlight onto the forest floor. This creates an enchanting atmosphere and provides a habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna.

Visitors to Wrinehill Wood can explore the numerous walking trails that wind their way through the forest. These trails offer opportunities to observe and appreciate the natural beauty of the woodland, with occasional benches allowing for peaceful moments of reflection. The wood is particularly vibrant in the spring, when bluebells carpet the forest floor, painting the landscape with a vivid burst of color.

The wood is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and a wealth of bird species. Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts can enjoy spotting species such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and tawny owls, among others.

Managed by the local authorities, Wrinehill Wood is well-maintained, with clear signage and well-maintained paths. It is a popular destination for families, walkers, and nature lovers alike, seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Staffordshire.

Barn and circular enclosure by the railway The enclosure may be for training horses, but could have other uses. 

The train from which this was taken was at this point crossing the border from Cheshire into Staffordshire: this building is just on the Staffs side.

Checkley - view towards Checkley Wood Checkley: view towards Checkley Wood, south of the village. The pattern of dairy farms, poultry farms and some arable land (turnips, cereals) is relieved here by patches of mature woodland of which Checkley Wood (private) is one of the largest. This probably accounts for the large population of pheasants in the area!
