Beechcliff Wood is a beautiful woodland located in the county of Staffordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this enchanting forest is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The wood is predominantly made up of beech trees, which give it its name, but it also features a variety of other tree species including oak, ash, and birch. The dense canopy created by these trees provides a cool and shaded environment, making it a perfect spot to escape the summer heat.

Beechcliff Wood is home to a wide range of wildlife, including various bird species, small mammals, and insects. Ornithologists will find plenty to observe here, as the wood attracts a plethora of birdlife, such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and treecreepers.

In addition to its natural beauty, Beechcliff Wood also has a rich history. The wood is thought to have been used for timber production in the past, and remnants of old sawpits and charcoal hearths can still be found scattered throughout the area.

Overall, Beechcliff Wood is a captivating destination that offers a tranquil escape from the bustling modern world. Its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and historical significance make it a must-visit location for anyone seeking a true connection with nature.

Stile to nowhere The bridge over the M6 has a gate which could swing across the entrance, the post is by the opposite rail. This stile should meet up with it, but the hinges seem to have seized up when I tried to move it.
