New Wood is a small woodland area located in the county of Staffordshire, England. Situated in the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers.

Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, New Wood is predominantly composed of deciduous trees, including oak, ash, and birch. The woodland is known for its rich biodiversity, hosting a variety of plant and animal species. Bluebells and wild garlic carpet the forest floor during the spring months, creating a vibrant and picturesque scene.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained walking trails, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the area. These trails range in difficulty, catering to different fitness levels and preferences. Along the paths, visitors may come across peaceful clearings, babbling brooks, and small ponds, adding to the charm of the woodland.

New Wood is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Common sightings include woodpeckers, nuthatches, and various species of owls. The wood provides a vital habitat for these creatures, offering them shelter and a source of food.

The woodland is open to the public year-round, with no admission fees. It is easily accessible by car, with ample parking available nearby. Whether for a leisurely stroll, a family picnic, or a birdwatching expedition, New Wood offers a tranquil and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

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.
