A tranquil woodland teeming with wildlife, ideal for a family outing.
Holyford Woods is a beautiful woodland, nestled in a picturesque valley near Seaton. The site is managed by Wild East Devon.
The site was purchased in 2001 with funds raised by the local community. In 2020 a new management partnership was established between Wild East Devon and the Axe Vale & District Conservation Society.
Oak, Ash and Hazel abound at Holyford Woods where birds nest in tree holes, Bats roost in handy crevices and tangled roots can provide nest sites for Weasels and Wood Mice. A goyle, or sunken stream runs through the heart of the woodland, feeding the Stafford Brook which runs into the Axe Estuary at the nearby Colyford Common Local Nature Reserve.
The site offers great walking throughout the year with various routes available using the public and permissive footpaths around the site.
