Hare Park Wood is a beautiful woodland located in Staffordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, this ancient woodland is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The wood is predominantly made up of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and birch. These trees create a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a wide variety of wildlife. Hare Park Wood is particularly known for its vibrant bird population, with species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls frequently spotted within its boundaries.

The woodland is crisscrossed with a network of well-maintained footpaths, making it easy for visitors to explore its natural wonders. These paths lead visitors through a diverse range of habitats, including open glades, wildflower meadows, and babbling brooks. There are also several ponds scattered throughout the wood, which provide a vital water source for the local wildlife.

Hare Park Wood is managed by a dedicated team of conservationists who work tirelessly to protect and enhance its biodiversity. They carry out regular maintenance tasks, such as tree planting and coppicing, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the woodland.

Visitors to Hare Park Wood can enjoy a peaceful and tranquil environment, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic amidst nature. The wood is also a popular spot for nature education programs and guided walks, allowing visitors to learn more about the fascinating flora and fauna that call this woodland home.

Bridges over the Black Brook A sandstone bridge with concrete bridge behind carry the A38 dual carriageway. The more modern bridge leads up to the steel truss bridge carrying a bridleway over the A38. These new bridges have not yet been picked up on the OS mapping. I am told that the metal ledges are for otters who don't like getting their feet wet when it floods!
