Points of interest:
Coton Wood was planted on former farmland in 1994 with oak, ash, field maple, hawthorn, cherry and other native trees and shrubs.
Grangewood was planted in 1997 with native trees and shrubs. Walking, riding (by permit) and fishing are all available on the site. A Noon Column is also here.
Top Tree Wood and the adjacent Long Close Wood were planted in 1996. An area has been left next to Grangewood Ancient Wood to enable natural regeneration of the existing wood.
Penguin Wood was planted in 2007 and includes a wildflower area.
Beehive Farm & Beehive Wood includes fishing lakes, trails for walkers, horse riders and for those less abled, together with a camping & caravanning site, children’s farm & playground, tea room, craft workshops and business units.
The name Coton-in-the-EIms is derived from “all the cottages in the elms”. Sadly, following the outbreak of Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s, few of the elms which gave the village its name remain.
Hill Close Copse is a 6 hectare woodland with a wet woodland theme, planted in 1999. A wildlife pond, sedge bed and native black poplars are all features of the site.
Garlands Wood was planted in 2 phases in 1997 and 1999. Planting is a mixture of native broadleaves, conifers and commercial poplars in the wet areas alongside the Pessall Brook.
