Borsdane Wood
Borsdane Wood Local Nature Reserve lies to the north of Hindley, straddling the border of Wigan and Bolton. It is an area of Semi Natural Ancient Woodland and a Site of Biological Interest. The wood consists of mixed broadleaf trees such as oak, ash, birch, cherry, hazel, hawthorn, blackthorn and dog rose and has believed to have had woodland cover since around 1600AD. The woodland has been relatively unchanged for hundreds of years and is home to a wide variety of wildlife including deer. Borsdane Wood is managed by the Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, a public footpath runs through the middle of the woodland following the line of Borsdane Brook. No horse riding is allowed.
