Our intention is to keep Heritage Wood maintained and as natural as possible for you to enjoy.

The birth of a Woodland

Born out of the love of nature, and a local farming family looking for a special place to plant and dedicate trees. Robert and Wendy Morley planted the first trees in 1988 these have grown into the woodland that today is Heritage Wood. The woodland is still owned and lovingly maintained by their son and daughter-in-law, Tim and Jill.

The woodland remains a special place for the Morleys' and also their extended Heritage Wood family of sponsors.
