The forests of spruce, larch and the other conifers offer ideal conditions for red & roe deer;indeed, they are so numerous that the Forestry Commission has to cull them humanely to control their numbers. although we normally associate red deer with open ground, they thrive in the forests: woodland was their original home before they were driven out on to moorland & mountain by our human clearance of the native woods. Red squirrels are common, but shy and rarely seen; look out for the spruce cones from which they have picked out the seed scales - in places the remains of cones litter the forest floor.
