Benridge Bank Wood is set on a south facing slope where Hesleden Dene, Nesbitt Dene and Crimdon Dene meet ( a Dene being a wooded valley), and this very pretty woodland has a lot of features of interest. With many level areas as well as rolling undulations, the wood is a haven for wildlife.
From the ride-stop, where there is space to park a car, a good-weather, vehicle accessible trail leads into the wood between hillocks and hollows, following the course of a stream known as Bellows Burn. The undulations are carpeted with a good covering of dog’s mercury along with primroses, bluebells and other beautiful spring wildflowers. They are likely the result of small-scale quarrying in the past.
The wood has a very natural character, mostly broadleaves such as ash, oak, birch, sycamore, wych elm and hazel but Scots pine is also present. The same mix of trees extends up the slope with more grasses, native ferns and other varieties of flora scattered through. Wild raspberry, bramble and alpine strawberries offer fruits for the forager as well as wild garlic. Violets, honeysuckle, harts tongue fern, lady fern and ivy all contribute to making the place feel quite timeless.
The bank is steep in places and is crossed with wildlife trails, made by roe deer and other mammals that live in the dene.
