One of the new places we found out walking today is Langton West Wood, a lovely woodland nature reserve tucked near the bottom of the fold between the inland Purbeck Hills and the ridge along the Purbeck coast. A fragment of ancient deciduous woodland as indicated by some of the incumbent species, though at some point, now long neglected, areas have been managed as coppice. It has a stream running through it, fed by many rivulets and springs. A magical space and a most fortuitous find, said to be best visited in Spring, when it's flushed with wild flowers. I look forward to it.
