Thrimby Mill Plantation is a captivating woodland located in the scenic county of Westmorland, England. Encompassing an area of approximately 200 acres, this expansive plantation is nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of the Lake District National Park.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and birch, which form a lush canopy overhead. These majestic trees provide shade, shelter, and a rich habitat for a diverse array of flora and fauna. Bluebells, wild garlic, and ferns carpet the forest floor, creating a magical atmosphere.

Thrimby Mill Plantation is intersected by a tranquil stream, which meanders through the woodland, adding to its natural charm. The stream provides a source of water for the various inhabitants of the plantation, including a variety of bird species, small mammals, and amphibians.

The plantation serves as an important conservation area, preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the region. It is managed sustainably, with periodic tree thinning and selective felling to maintain a healthy ecosystem.

Visitors to Thrimby Mill Plantation can enjoy a range of activities, including walking, birdwatching, and picnicking. There are well-maintained footpaths that wind through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its hidden corners and discover its inhabitants.

Thrimby Mill Plantation offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing an opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience the beauty of Westmorland's woodlands.
