Launde Park Wood
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
Total species seen at this site:
Launde Park Wood extends over 57 ha. The Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust does not control the shooting rights to this reserve - before visiting check the dates when shooting will be taking place. Despite much of Park Wood having been planted with conifers, it still retains many of the same features of interest as the Big Wood. These are best seen in the northern third of the wood, which escaped planting. However, where conifers have been removed the ground flora is now recovering with the spread of species such as ramsons, sweet woodruff and primrose. Towards the end of the summer the rare fragrant agrimony can be found growing beside the main ride.
