Cragbank Woods

Cragbank Woods is a beautiful mix of native trees that cloak the steep gorge slopes. Springtime brings a dense carpet of wildflowers, whilst summer sunshine calls out butterflies to flit through the woodland glades. The Reserve still feels like a remote sanctuary far from the hustle of everyday life.
