  • I do apologise that it’s so long. The Woods on the Cotswold escarpments are the remains of Rare  Anchient Woodland. Stockemd Woods on Edge is an Ancient Woodland. It felt and looked very prehistoric partly cause there was lots of ferns and trees and insects together it was very wild so you had to watch your step so you don’t acidently stand on any insects and there’s a path for you to stay on so you don’t trample and damage the Wildflowers And they have a rule asking people not to pick them. Interestingly they get the rare Bee Orchid. Also interestingly  ferns are prehistoric plants And have been around since the Dinosaurs. For the common This was the first time Iv ever seen a 5 Spot Burnet, Rustic Sailor Beetle, and Sainfoin. 

  • They do have Skylark on the Common so they have sealed that part off but you can still enjoy there calling when they display
