Tanglewood

Changing forestry practices over the years have, of course, had an effect on the forest's woods and how they look. In the past fallen wood would have been collected by the commoners and locals for the hearth, and to a lesser degree that still happens, though now much more of that fallen wood remains on the woodland floor, and as it returns to the earth it creates homes for wildlife and bolsters the woodlands diversity. Another consequence is that it makes walking of the tracks a more interesting, if not a slower, affair. Which is no bad thing, as the slower you move through the forest the more you'll see, the more you find, the richer your woodland walking experience.
