Lindore Wood is a picturesque forest located in Staffordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The wood is situated near the village of Wood, which lends its name to the forest.

Lindore Wood is characterized by its dense canopy of towering trees, predominantly consisting of oak, beech, and ash. The woodland floor is adorned with a rich carpet of bluebells, wild garlic, and various other native plant species, creating a vibrant and colorful display during spring and summer months.

The forest boasts a network of well-maintained footpaths, making it easily accessible for visitors to explore. These paths wind their way through the wood, leading to hidden glades, tranquil ponds, and enchanting clearings. Wildlife is abundant within the forest, with sightings of deer, squirrels, and a wide variety of bird species being common.

Lindore Wood also holds historical significance. It is believed to have been part of an ancient royal hunting ground, dating back to medieval times. Ruins of an old hunting lodge can still be found within the wood, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the area.

Visitors to Lindore Wood can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including walking, birdwatching, and photography. The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the forest provides an ideal escape from the bustling city life, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature and unwind in a tranquil setting.

The road is also the route of a public footpath which bypasses the house on its left side.

Swanpit Pool A small fishery run by Weston Under Lizard Angling Club, and stocked with a mixture of coarse fish. The ripples in the water at my feet are caused by the landing of a common carp, about 3lbs in weight, by an angler to whom I chatted briefly.
