Fellside Wood - Old Hutton, Cumbria UK - Made for the Millennium on Waymarking.com

"Fellside Wood is one of over 1,000 woods across the UK cared for by the Woodland Trust. It was planted in December 1999, is located approximately 3 miles south east of Kendal near the village of Old Hutton.

The woodland is almost an oblong stretching south west from an unclassified road to Peasey Beck along the north western boundary. Maximum elevation is around 160m, this being the knoll upon which the millennium feature is set, dropping to 130m at Peasey Beck.

This 5.46 hectare area has been planted with native trees to create a new native woodland consisting of oak (Quercus petraea), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), birch (Betula pubescens), aspen (Populus tremula), hazel (Corylus avellana), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and holly (Ilex aquifolium). The most north western field has been left quite open and retains some traditional meadow grasses such as timothy (Phleum pratense), Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus) and crested dog’s-tail (Cynosurus cristatus) and into this a number of native wild flower’s from local seed have been planted."

A 4-way stone wall seat was constructed at the top of the wood and gives a good view over the surrounding countryside. The trees are now about 12-15ft high and the area is looking attractive. A footpath runs along the beck at the bottom adding to the attractiveness of the site.
