| Rigsby Wood in the Lincolnshire Wolds famous for
its Bluebells |
| This is very old woodland that lies
on the eastern side of the chalk hills of Lincolnshire near Alford. This
wood was mentioned in charters in the twelfth century. Felling and replanting
has taken place over the years.
The Lincolnshire Trust for Nature Conservation has owned the land since
1980.
The present ridge overlooked the sea. In ancient times this was the coast.
Stone Age people would have looked down over the chalk cliffs to see the
waves pounding against the beach below. |
