2011 : Track through Asham Wood Wikipedia has this to say: "Asham Wood is the largest and most diverse of the ancient semi-natural woods in the Mendips. It has been the subject of controversy and attempts to protect the environment from increased quarrying activity in the area. The wood occupies 2 deep valleys and the intervening plateau. Most of the underlying rocks are calcareous Carboniferous Limestone and Shales, but Devonian Portishead Beds outcrop along the northern valley. There [is] a range of unusual flora and fauna. At Asham Wood near Frome coppicing and 50 dormouse boxes have been introduced in order to encourage nesting. The boxes are monitored and dormice numbers are recorded." <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asham_Wood" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asham_Wood">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> The only access to Asham Wood from the road is on the north east edge near Dead Womans Bottom, otherwise it is by footpath.
