Swanpool Wood and Furnace Grove (grid reference SO541107 biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (a conservation designation denoting a protected area in the United Kingdom ), in Gloucestershire in South West England .[1] [2] [3]
Location [ edit ]
It is in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty , an area of some importance in southern Great Britain , and supports many rare species. The woods and groves are important areas of woodland conservation work, coppicing and replanting. The semi-natural woodland is plentiful and continuous along the gorge.[1] Lower Wye Gorge and Upper Wye Gorge .
Wye Valley Woodlands/ Coetiroedd Dyffryn Gwy are recognised as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive.[4] [5]
The site comprises a block of ancient broad-leaved woodland on Carboniferous limestone shales . There is an Old Red Sandstone outcrop to the west. There are various streams and flushes in the north-east of Swanpool Wood. The growth reflects the nature of the soils. The woodland is made up of Ash , Small-leaved Lime and Hazel . The damper areas support Alder .[1]
Bramble , Dog's Mercury , Bluebell are prevalent in the ground flora together with ferns and ivy, Hart's-tongue and wavy hair-grass. Uncommon species include Herb Paris , Greater Butterfly Orchid and Narrow-leaved Bitter-cress .[1]
