Daffern's Wood
Daffern's Wood
Daffern's Wood was declared the first Local Nature Reserve in North Warwickshire on 29th April 2013.
Daffern's Wood is an Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland dating back to 1600 and is irreplaceable. Ancient woodlands are an important habitat for many rare and threatened species of animals and plants. We need to conserve what remains for future generations.
Today Daffern's Wood is 2.42 hectares in size and once was part of Arley Wood, in the Arden Forest which covered most of Warwickshire. The extent of the woodland has remained unchanged since at least the first edition of the OS Map in 1832. The surrounding land has been modified since the early twentieth century through coal mining.
