About
A broadleaved woodland in a beautiful and historic setting: on a steep hillside, crowned by an Iron Age hill fort, with a stream running down either side. The wood takes its name from the remains of Spreacombe Chapel and well, dating from 1270. A variety of birds nest here: tawny owls, nuthatches, great spotted and green woodpeckers and pied flycatchers.Red deer, brown hares and badgers visit too
