In Bourne Wood

Bourne Wood is an ancient area of woodland on a ridge of mainly poor soil to the west of Bourne. It was taken over by the Forestry Commission in the 1920's who planted large areas of conifers. Today it is used mainly as a recreational area for local people and is being gradually restored to native broadleaf woodland. Over the years several resident artists have added their contributions to the woodland. The circular structure of willows in the foreground is a living sculpture by Claire Wilks called "Helter Skelter".
