I just managed to get the last of the recent snowfall in this delightful bit of woodland just over the road from St Ives Country Estate. Not many of the crowds of people who flock to the Estate on a daily basis know of this area, probably due to it being on a main road with only a small parking area.
The woodland is noted for its oak trees, badgers, woodpeckers, bats and cuckoos and sits on a natural fault through which Deep Cliff Hole beck drains. The whole area of woodland and moorland has been extensively quarried for sandstone in its time.
There is a myriad of footpaths all around this area so walks can be as long or as short as you wish. The day was cold and the ground a bit slippy so today was a short walk with photography uppermost in my mind.
