The woodland near the Hathersage Road car park is one of the better things about Blacka. Visually it would be the best but traffic noise too often intrudes to make the top favourite. Even so some of the sounds from song birds compete very well. Walking here in the dim evening light brings a different atmosphere but always there's the feeling the alders are more than just a physical presence.
An interesting Country Diary in the Guardian describes the wealth of wildlife in a part of Northamptonshire a hundred years after cattle grazing ceased. If we could just be so lucky.
