Our verdict
Somerset's pocket wood. Three acres, a stiff climb up from the road and a single loop path. It won't fill an afternoon, but as a leg-stretch with dragonflies it earns its place.
A three-acre broadleaf pocket between Batcombe and Bruton where the Trust has restored a previous owner's ponds for wildlife. One circular path loops the lot.
A tiny Woodland Trust wood, free to visit any time. The restored ponds are for wildlife — dogs out, dragonflies in.
