During the lockdown Christmas period back in 2020, we visited Leechpool and Owlbeech woods after I had been looking for somewhere new to explore. We returned today, having followed almost exactly the same research journey, and didn’t even realise we had been there before until we pulled into the car park.

It was a lovely place for a wander and there were plenty of easily accessible streams for Breezy to cool off in and drink from, which is always a good sign. Hopefully next time we go we’ll be deliberately returning rather than a third discovery!
