Goltho Woods is a stunning woodland located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 80 acres, it is known for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity. The woods are situated near the village of Wragby, just a few miles northeast of the historic city of Lincoln.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees, including oak, ash, and birch, which create a dense and enchanting canopy. The forest floor is adorned with a variety of wildflowers, such as bluebells and primroses, adding bursts of color to the surroundings.

Goltho Woods has a long history, dating back to medieval times when it was part of the Goltho Estate. Today, it is managed by the Forestry Commission and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its ecological importance. The woods provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, badgers, and various species of birds.

Visitors to Goltho Woods can enjoy a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails that wind through the woodland, allowing for leisurely walks and wildlife spotting. The peaceful atmosphere and tranquil surroundings make it a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers, and families seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Overall, Goltho Woods is a charming and picturesque woodland that offers a serene and immersive experience in nature.
