Leftwich Meadows
Leftwich boasts both beautiful woodland carpeted
with Bluebells and pockets of sunny meadows in which to have a
picnic all bordering the River Dane.
Oak, Sycamore and Ash dominate the woodland
with spring-flowers such as the bright yellow
of Lesser Celandine. Look out for newly planted Elm
trees, home of the elusive White-letter hairstreak
butterfly
which you can spot around the tree-tops.
As well as areas of short grassland ideal for
picnic or informal sports, there is a summer meadow which is a hive
of activity on a sunny day with stunning Peacock butterflies and
the hum of White-tailed bumblebees.
Leftwich Meadows is a haven for wildlife and a chance to enjoy the countryside on your doorstep.
