Old railway and woods

It's that time of year again, when everyone seems to be out walking in the woods!! So, I thought I'd join them!! Took a bit of a circuitous route, as you do, and wandered along the old railway first, before ending up in Holywell Wood, and from there moving to Burleigh (aka bluebell) Woods, and then traversing a part of the university campus I was less familiar with. Here's a few photos of my journey through our beautiful area.

  1. Hi Lynna,

    Please can you tell me how I can get to Burleigh Woods. I drive up to Nicholson road but it was all residential with no signs to Burleigh Woods. Is there an easy way to get there?

    1. Hi! If you turn right into Nicholson Road from Berkeley Road, there is a grassy area and trees on your right. If you walk over this grassy area, and turn left when you get to the wire fence, and follow it around you will come to Burleigh Woods. Alternatively, if you walk to the end of Nicholson Road, there is a footpath between a house on the left, and a double garage slightly set back on the right. As far as I know there are no signs to the woods as they are actually part of the university campus. Good luck! Lynne
