Sea Wood, Bardsea Country Park
The edge of Sea Wood, Bardsea Country Park on the edge of Morecambe Bay, Cumbria.
Sea Wood is an ancient woodland owned by Lady Jane Grey in the 1500s and now by the Woodland Trust.
It is a rare example of woodland on boulder clay overlying limestone and has been designated as a SSSI (Special Site of Scientific Interest). The wood is home to 28 different types of lichen and many sessile oaks. Sited as it is next to the sea, large oak timbers were floated on a high tide to the Ulverston shipyards. There are even tales that ’timber pirates’ used to intercept and steal the logs.
