A 26 ha privately owned wooded gorge, 7km East of Lancaster. It is designated a SSSI as one of the best valleys in Lancashire for it’s bryophyte communities, including some approaching their extreme south-east range limit in Britain. There is a rich ground flora with scattered, mainly young deciduous trees but also some veterans and standing deadwood. Some deadwood is also left in-situ. There are large patches of Wild Garlic and the Ramsons Hoverfly Portevinia maculata has been recorded in numbers but little invertebrate work has been done in the valley. This recording day should enable a bit more of the invertebrate interest to be revealed..
