evidence: Cambridgeshire is the least wooded county in the UK. With less than 1% ancient woodland and only 2% woodland cover in total, this ancient wood is incredibly special. [...] This community wood is part of a wider Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) that lies within the Lagan Valley Regional Park. Ponds, wildflower meadows and a stream support bountiful wildlife. Burnet moths and orchids are valuable species, and the area is an important habitat for the red squirrel. [...] This site includes ancient woodland, but it’s the mine shafts and natural limestone caves that earned the SSSI designation. These features support the second largest winter roost for the nationally rare lesser horseshoe bat in North East Wales. Other wildlife includes a range of bird species and reptiles and more than 50 varieties of molluscs. Visit in spring and summer for colourful wildflower displays.
