About
Prisk Wood is a six hectare ancient woodland high up in the Wye Valley. It's a great spot to see bluebells in the spring, along with ramsons, dog-violets, archangel and lesser celendine. It's also home to a great variety of woodland birds, including woodpeckers, pied and spotted flycatchers, hawfinches and goshawks.
The reserve also includes the remains of up to 20 quarries, used to mine 'pudding stone', a popuar stone for making millstones.
