Peakshill Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Staffordshire, England. It covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is nestled within the stunning Staffordshire Moorlands. The wood is situated near the village of Ipstones and is easily accessible from the nearby town of Leek.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, birch, and beech, which create a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. These trees provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife, such as deer, foxes, and numerous bird species, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Peakshill Wood offers a range of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. The paths wind through the woodland, providing opportunities to observe the flora and fauna up close. There are also designated picnic areas where visitors can relax and enjoy a meal amidst the tranquil surroundings.

Additionally, the wood is home to a number of historical features, including remnants of an old quarry and evidence of charcoal production in the past. These remnants serve as a reminder of the area's industrial history.

Peakshill Wood is a fantastic destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature. Its idyllic scenery, abundant wildlife, and historical significance make it a must-visit location for anyone exploring the Staffordshire countryside.

House on a Hillside near Wooliscroft This house is in a superb location, with views across the valley, but in the middle of winter it must be difficult, with steep roads on either side of the valley, a little bit of snow and they would be cut off. I bet the gritters don't come down here.
