About Morkery Wood
Morkery is a small peaceful ancient woodland which was used as ammunition and bomb store during the second world war (RAF South Witham). The network of hard tracks provides good all year round access for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. A small car park and picnic area is provided. Much of the woodland was felled in the mid 1990s following the death of the Norway spruce crops planted after the war. These sites are naturally regenerating to site-native oak and ash woodland under the 'Ancient Woodland Project'.
How to get there:
Morkery Wood is part of Kesteven Forest. Castle Bytham is the nearest town or village.
