Cuckoo Trees, located in Staffordshire, England, is a magnificent woodland area abundant with natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Spanning over a vast expanse, it is often referred to as a forest due to its dense canopy and diverse vegetation. The name "Cuckoo Trees" stems from the many cuckoos that can be heard echoing through the trees during the springtime.

The woodland is characterized by a variety of tree species, including oak, beech, ash, birch, and pine. These towering giants create a vibrant green canopy, providing shade and shelter for a diverse range of flora and fauna. The forest floor is adorned with a thick carpet of ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, creating a picturesque scene.

One of the most remarkable features of Cuckoo Trees is its network of walking trails. These well-maintained paths meander through the wood, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the enchanting surroundings. Along these trails, one can spot an array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, rabbits, and a variety of bird species. The woodland is also home to a small population of rare red squirrels, adding to its ecological significance.

Cuckoo Trees is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life. The forest provides ample opportunities for activities such as birdwatching, photography, and simply enjoying the tranquility of nature. It is a place where one can reconnect with the natural world and appreciate the wonders of the Staffordshire countryside.

Cave at Prestwood near Stourton, Staffordshire This cave in the Triassic sandstone is on land belonging to Prestwood Cave Nursery. The nursery grows a limited range of hardy shrubs and other plants. Quality is high, and the prices are very reasonable. The hard winter of 2010-2011 killed many plants in nurseries all over the West Midlands, but enough remains here to continue trading.
