One of the most picturesque woodlands in the borough, the small
clough valley of Fairy Glen can be found near Appley Bridge.
The secluded atmosphere of the Glen provides an ideal home for a
variety of wildlife.
Designated as a Biological Heritage Site for its ancient woodland
of oak, birch, ash and alder, the woodland floor may be covered
with bluebells, wild garlic, ferns, and red campion.
The waters of Sprodley Brook have, over time, cut down through the
underlying sandstone to create the steep Fairy Glen valley, which
has spectacular waterfalls and cliff faces.
The Fairy Glen Circular walk is one of a series put together by the
Ranger Service and available as one of our Self Guided
Trails.
The walk through Fairy Glen links to the wider countryside through
the local path system.
