Scarletoak Wood is a picturesque forest located in Cornwall, England. This enchanting woodland covers a vast area and is known for its stunning beauty and diverse flora and fauna. The wood is named after the Scarlet Oak trees that are abundant in the area, adding a vibrant touch to the landscape.

The forest is characterized by its dense canopy, which allows only dappled sunlight to filter through, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The ground is covered with a thick layer of leaf litter, making it a haven for various woodland creatures like deer, foxes, and rabbits. Bird enthusiasts will be delighted to spot a variety of species, including woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes, nestled amongst the branches.

Scarletoak Wood offers numerous walking trails, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and explore the hidden treasures of the forest. The paths wind through ancient trees, moss-covered rocks, and babbling brooks, providing a truly immersive experience. Adventurous hikers can venture further into the wood, discovering hidden glades and secret clearings, perfect for picnics or quiet contemplation.

The wood is also home to a rich variety of plant life, with carpets of bluebells and wild garlic covering the forest floor in springtime. Towering oak trees dominate the skyline, while beech, hazel, and birch trees add to the diversity. The wood is particularly beautiful during autumn when the foliage turns various shades of red, orange, and gold, creating a breathtaking panorama.

Scarletoak Wood is a cherished natural gem in Cornwall, offering visitors a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Whether it be for leisurely walks, birdwatching, or simply reconnecting with nature, this forest promises an unforgettable experience for all who venture into its leafy embrace.

Ascending to Liskeard on the way from Looe, 1979 Viewed through the two sheets of glass, one rather dirty, of the rear window of a first generation diesel multiple unit, this is not the best quality view, but nevertheless it is one denied the traveller today. Having reversed at Coombe,  the train has already curved round 90 degrees. It has a further 180 degrees to go to end up at Liskeard at right angles to, and at the same level as, the main line on the viaduct.
