Fairy Glen

One of the most picturesque woodlands in the District, 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,

The waters of Sprodley Brooferns, and red campion. k 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.
