Boghill Wood is a picturesque forest located in Cumberland, a county in the northwest of England. Covering an area of approximately 500 acres, this woodland is a natural haven of tranquility and beauty. The forest is situated on the eastern slopes of the Pennines, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Boghill Wood is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. The forest is home to a variety of tree species, including oak, beech, ash, and birch. The dense canopy provides a habitat for numerous bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds. Visitors may also encounter small mammals like squirrels and rabbits during their exploration of the woodland.

The forest is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. These paths wind through the forest, leading to scenic viewpoints, trickling streams, and hidden clearings. The enchanting atmosphere of the wood is further enhanced by the presence of bluebells, wild garlic, and other wildflowers which carpet the forest floor in the spring.

Boghill Wood offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and photography. Whether one seeks solitude or a family outing, this woodland is a perfect destination to reconnect with nature and enjoy the serenity it offers.

Lightly burned vegetation at High Park High Park is an area of moorland at a relatively low level - the camera position is at around 220 m. above sea level. An area of vegetation has been burned, presumably purposely and with good intent, in an attempt at some form of control. Similar burning was observed on nearby Lake District hills of the Blake Fell / Gavel Fell group. Periodic burning of heather is practised on moorland managed as grouse moor, but that's surely not what is going on here.

Larch trees in cleft of stream In late April the larches are in 'new leaf'. The cleft is that of a stream which according to OS mapping fades away as do others in the area; it's assumed that the waters somehow enter Dub Beck. The western hills of the Lake District are seen hazily in the distance.
