Bramma Wood is a picturesque woodland situated in the county of Derbyshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is one of the many wooded areas that make up the beautiful Peak District National Park. The wood is located near the village of Brampton, just a few miles away from the bustling market town of Chesterfield.

The wood is predominantly made up of native broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and birch, providing a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. It is home to a wide range of flora and fauna, including various species of birds, mammals, and insects. Walking through the wood, visitors can expect to see a carpet of bluebells in the spring, vibrant foliage in the autumn, and an abundance of wildlife throughout the year.

There are several well-maintained footpaths that crisscross the wood, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its natural beauty. These paths are suitable for both leisurely strolls and more adventurous hikes, providing something for everyone. Along the way, there are benches and picnic areas where visitors can rest and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

Bramma Wood is a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Its close proximity to residential areas makes it easily accessible for both locals and tourists. The wood offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to connect with nature and enjoy the peace and serenity it provides.

Former course of the A619 The road from Chesterfield to Baslow used to be bendier on this side of the hill, but many of the bends have been lessened. The new road runs to the right in this image where the road signs are.
