Borsdane Wood (LNR) lies to the north of Hindley, straddling the border of Wigan and Bolton. It is an area of semi natural ancient woodland and a site of biological interest. The linear and relatively narrow 34 hectare wood is bisected by Borsdane Brook. The site is owned by Wigan Council and managed in partnership with Lancashire Wildlife Trust and the Borsdane Friends Group.

The wood consists of mixed broadleaf trees such as oak, ash, birch, cherry, hazel, hawthorn, blackthorn and dog rose and is believed to have had woodland cover since around 1600AD. There is a mature ground flora, plentiful deadwood left on the ground and small meadow area.
