Tynings Wood

Tynings Wood stands to the east of the village of Clapton-in-Gordano on the northern edge of the Tickenham Ridge and near Portishead Bristol. A gentle north facing slope leads down to the Gordano valley which is surrounded in part by Ancient woodland. The adjacent land is mostly grazed with an area of semi-natural grassland on the eastern edge. The site was planted by the local community to create a native broadleaf wood in December 1999 as part of the Woodland Trust?s millennium Woods on your Doorstep project. The site has developed well into young woodland. Public and management access are available direct from the public highway onto a grass-topped path that provide generally easy walking through the wood.
