Trees and forests are crucial to life on our planet: they generate oxygen, play host to a spectacular variety of wildlife and provide us with raw materials and shelter. They offer us tranquillity, inspire us and refresh our souls. "Exploring Woodland" is a series of guides from The Woodland Trust that describe and illustrate 101 beautiful woodland sites in different regions and countries throughout the UK. Fully illustrated with site maps and photographs, these are the essential woodland guides for all tree lovers. Both privately owned and public woods are included in the guides. There is a map of each site and clear information on how to find it, the type of woodland, the facilities available and what to look out for on your visit, including the wildlife that you may meet there. All sites have been visited by independent researchers so that the information in each book is up-to-date. "The Chilterns to the Welsh Borders" covers the magnificent beechwoods of east Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire before exploring north and west into Worcestershire, Shropshire, and the ancient woods of the Wye Valley.
