Culvery Wood

Our verdict

Best treated as the wooded chapter of a Pensford viaduct walk rather than the headline. String it together with the riverbank and the sixteen arches and you've a proper outing; the wood alone is a pleasant few acres.

A bank of broadleaf woodland in the valley near Pensford, where the River Chew loops under its famous railway viaduct. Bluebells in the older corners, young Trust planting filling the gaps.

Woodland Trust wood above the Chew, open at all times. Footpath access only.
