Spring Wood - Whalley

Spring Wood is a nice little woodland area on the Western slope of Clerk Hill beside Whalley in Lancashire.

A selection of relatively short woodland paths on relatively steep ground with a little viewpoint bench and a small waterfall over what was probably an old quarry on the way round. Good wildlife and a ton of mushrooms and fungi to find.

There is a small car park available at the bottom.
