Lumb Brook Valley is a series of of inter-connected but distinctive woodlands that are popular with locals and visitors. Fords Rough is an area of Ancient Semi Natural Woodland and the Dingle has a mix of conifers and broad-leafed trees. The valley has surfaced and well used footpaths linked to the adjacent housing estates and roads. The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading charity dedicated solely to the conservation of our native woodland heritage. The Trust owns and maintains over a thousand woods throughout the UK, these woodlands are freely open for everyone to enjoy. The Trust owns and manages parts of the woodland within the Lumb Brook Valley including Fords Rough, Pewterspear Woods and parts of the Dingle. Appleton Dingle is one of our few remaining areas of ancient semi-natural woodland. It is a fantastic place to see bluebells, woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers and other types of birds. Other water and woodland wildlife can be seen in the area, including moths, butterflies, foxes and four types of bat. It contains a mix of tree and plant species dominated by English Oak. A pleasant streamside footpath leaves the road here to follow the valley of the Lumb Brook.
