Details
| Description: | Mixed woodland with intricate contour and rock detail. Area used for JK 1991. Courses go close to sheer cliff faces (the result of former quarrying), some of which are unfenced. Competitors are advised to be vigilant. Natural England has asked us to include the following statement in this flyer: Shining Cliff Woods site of special scientific interest is legally protected due to the valuable flora and fauna that it supports. It is one of few remaining woodlands that once formed part of the medieval hunting forest of Duffield Frith. Alongside the ancient woodland and ground flora beneath, the site is also important for its variety of breeding birds and interesting invertebrates, including the hairy wood ant which are usually very visible under foot and create prominent anthills on the woodland floor. Natural England is here to conserve these areas to maintain a healthy natural environment and to safeguard them for future generations. Please enjoy the woodlands and take care to avoid causing any damage. |
