Ecclesall Woods covers a massive 350 acres and is now a Local Nature Reserve after years of providing timber and charcoal for local industry. Spend a few hours hiking through the woods and taking in the local wildlife and flowers.
There are a number of landmarks within the woods, including two historic mills, with one dating back to the 1600s. There are also a number of pits that were once used to manufacture coal, with evidence of charcoal-burning sites throughout the woods.
Finally, you can also look at an ancient carved stone, dated to the Bronze Age, making these woods a delightful place to experience nature and history in one place.
