Explore Haugh Woods
(Average user rating: 4 unrated 4/5)

Wood white butterflyBeautiful Broadleaf Woods.

The name Haugh, which is pronounced "Hoff" is derived from the name of a Saxon owner indicating that this is the site of an ancient wood. Haugh Woods, at nearly 350 hectares (850 acres), is nationally important for butterflies and moths, with over 600 species recorded within it. This makes the wood one of the top 10 woods in the country and is designated as a SSSI due to the presence of these invertebrates.

What do other visitors say?

I was deeply distressed on a recent visit to the area of Haugh Woods that is in Mordiford opposite Hope Springs |Farm.And found the once beautiful bluebell woods decimated!! Many trees cut down and ugly heavy machinery marks with eroded earth banks.Heartbreaking.

As per the comments of other visitors a very nice place but a shame about all the dog excrement on the footpaths

Regulary visit,firstly,signage to get dog owners to flick dog mess into undergrowth are urgently required, some are bagging up then leaving the bags in the carpark,with some now adorning trees. horses and mountain bikes are not keeping to gravelled roads, would like the latter to be restricted to carpark side to avoid disturbing wildlife and watchers. Chainsaw oil/fuel cans litter many parts, even after being reported. More wildlife visable and encouraged in by thinning works etc, please keep these up.Enjoy watching the deer species would like control of grey squirrels No toilets required thankyou, Always water available for dogs from dewponds/ cattle troughs,better still in summer take some with you,
