Fox Wood, located in Nottinghamshire, is a picturesque woodland area known for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is situated on the outskirts of the village of Foxton, just a few miles away from the bustling city of Nottingham.

The wood is characterized by its dense canopy of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Walking through the wood, visitors are greeted by a variety of tree species, including oak, beech, ash, and pine. These trees provide a habitat for numerous bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.

Fox Wood is also home to a wide range of animals, including foxes (hence the name), badgers, rabbits, and squirrels. The wood's diverse ecosystem supports a rich variety of flora and fauna, with carpets of bluebells and wildflowers adorning the forest floor during springtime.

The wood offers several walking trails, allowing nature enthusiasts to explore its beauty at their own pace. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful stroll along well-maintained paths, or venture off the beaten track to discover hidden glades and secret clearings.

The wood is open to the public year-round, and its natural beauty makes it a popular destination for outdoor activities, including picnics, photography, and nature walks. Fox Wood truly captures the essence of Nottinghamshire's countryside, providing a haven for those seeking solace in nature.

The northern fringe of Calverton This is the junction of Flatts Lane (left) with Mansfield Lane, which effectively marks the northernmost point in Calverton village. A junction with the B6386 is less than a quarter of a mile away (hence the advance Give Way sign), but was hidden in the mist when this picture was taken.
