Claughbane Woods is separated from Lhery Frissell by Elfin Glen and three areas together provide an important scenic backdrop to the town of Ramsey and an excellent vantage point for the norhern plain. The combined area of the three sites is 26 ha. (64 acres).

Claughbane is predoninately coniferous and has been worked as a commercial planation for many years. There was once also the site of a slate quarry.

The information board/map in the parking area at the Hairpin Bend gives the following warning:
"All paths shown are maintained to provide easy access, but visitors should note that the route is somewhat steep in places"

The woods have recently become the site of 'Ramsey Eco-Active' a project which aims to create a wildlife friendly space for outdoor recreation and education aimed at children and adults.
