Shillito Wood

Shillito Wood is a small plantation on the edge of the Eastern Moors, with plenty of space for dogs to run around off the lead, all year round. During bird breeding season, 1st March-31st July, dog owners are required to keep dogs on leads elsewhere across the moors.

The damp woodland environment means this is great place to discover fungi during autumn. There is an abundance of bird life at Shillito; great spotted woodpecker, yellow hammer and blue tits are often spotted on the feeders.

The medieval cross which stands in the woods marks the original boundary of land leased by Lord of Barlow to the monks of Louth Park Abbey in Lincolnshire.

The car park offers spectacular views across Ramsley Moor and is free for all visitors. There are no toilet or catering facilities available at this location.
