Smithills Estate - a treasure trove for people and wildlife Woodland Walks - The Woodland Trust Podcast

An enormous, rugged landscape with a variety of valuable habitats and far-reaching views across to Bolton and Manchester, Smithills is an incredible place. Meet Tracey and Vicky, who tell us how the Trust is revitalising its largest site in England, including leaky dams, planting the right trees in the right places and involving the local community at every turn. Volunteers Pete and Alex give us insight into their years at Smithills too, along with fascinating stories of a ghostly horseman, perished Saxon sons and the sword of Egbordene!
