Beschrijving
The east and south side of Dipton Wood is a steep-sided valley with oak woods, with a notable population of Bonte Vliegenvanger and Gekraagde Roodstaart in nestboxes, while most of the rest is pine and spruce plantation, attractive to conifer forest birds including regular Boompieper (in the felled and replanted areas), Kruisbek, and Sijs. A selection of raptors can also be seen, and both Houtsnip and Nachtzwaluw can be present.
Fluiter formerly bred in the oakwood valley (and may possibly still do so occasionally), and can still turn up on spring passage.

Both paths start with 'Public Footpath' signs. Please stick to the footpaths; other tracks within the wood are not open to the public.
Abundant Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) in July/August make for a pleasant picnic addition.
