Seale Wood

A beautiful community woodland in the National Forest

Planted in 2002, this community woodland is the perfect spot for a family walk, a burst of exercise and even a picnic. It's also a great place to find some peace and quiet and re-set from the stresses of daily life.

Seale Wood is developing into a working coppice woodland, with a goal to encourage the development of a local timber industry.
