FIVE MORE LAKE DISTRICT WOODLANDS

THE WORDSWORTH YEWS

Inspired by the Lake District that was his home, Wordsworth wrote about a group of yew trees at Seathwaite in the Borrowdale valley, and one in the beautiful village of Lorton. The trees still stand today.

REWILDED ENNERDALE

Visit one of the Lake District’s most isolated valleys where a re-wilding project – involving planting and natural regeneration – is underway to replace the rampant conifers with native broadleaf trees.

GRIZEDALE FOREST SCULPTURES

This huge natural woodland in the Lake District’s south is home to the only indigenous herd of red deer in England. It’s also the UK’s first forest for sculpture and includes works by the artist Andy Goldsworthy.

TARN HOWS PINES

This idyll of conifer trees, tarn islands and deep, dark waters is one of the Lakes’ most beautiful sights. An all-abilities trail navigates the banks of the tarn, with impressive mountain views over to the Langdale’s and the Helvellyn Range.

ATLANTIC OAKWOODS

Sheltered within the Borrowdale valley is a UK rarity: an area of temperate rainforest, home to ancient mosses, liverworts and lichens, and the recipient of an average of 11ft (3m) of rainfall a year.
