Dunnockshaw Woodland

Having worked in Rossendale for a few years and now moved to Cheshire, I took Mark to explore an area called Dunnockshaw Community Woodland. Above Burnley, the area of moorland recently became a community woodland space, hundreds of trees had been planted and often I did a few Walks for Health Walks in the area. It was a lovely day out sharing an area that in time will develop into a place to explore further as the trees grow and mature.

The Singing Ringing Tree on the sculptures built here as a tourist attraction and links to the rural landscape of this area of Lancashire. Seriously does ring when the wind blows through the tubes.

Dunnockshaw Woodland has a very hidden history with a packhorse trail running by the reservoir, hidden farm steads dotted and lost on the moorland and the lost medieval village of Gambleside which lies under the reservoir.
