Fireclay Wood, Maryport, Cumbria

Land size
6.75 acres

Description

Fireclay Wood lies in the south-eastern corner of a larger woodland named Moorside. The Cumbrian village of Dearham is close by, with Maryport and the Solway coast a short drive away.

The wood is bounded by agricultural land on the two external boundaries, and glimpses of the lakeland fells can be seen on the horizon beyond Cockermouth. Planted around 20 years ago over the landscaping of a former coal mine, the wood is gradually naturalising and maturing. Largely level, the landscape is crossed by small drainage channels, which give a focus for damp-loving vegetation and a home for frogs and newts.

Along the southern boundary fence is an open grassland area with a wide aspect giving glimpses of the northen lakeleand fells.
