Lambsquay Woods Partnership 

Welcome to  Lambsquay Woods. This is a very special area of rare temperate rainforest in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. Crease limestone geology provides the setting for a network of pits and caverns established since Roman times. Locally known as  scowles, the pits are scattered throughout the semi-natural ancient woodland. Designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation, Lesser Horseshoe Bats inhabit the caverns which open into the woodland. This video illustrates the beauty of the woods:
