Croshaw Wood

Croshaw Wood is on a fairly steep slope beside the Douglas and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Adlington.

The wood is nice with some interesting features including old mining remains and a waterfall.

Paths lead down into Croshaw Wood from the canal, and along the river from the neighboring Arley Wood.
