Spud Wood

Take a walk in the woods!

Adopted and managed by the Woodland Trust, Spud Wood was once a potato growing field but in 1998, it was planted with trees and is now a lush mix of broadleaf woodland and grassland meadow, bordering the Bridgewater Canal on one side and Helsdale Wood on the other. 

There’s a few entry points, though the main one is on Stage Lane (where there is a small car park with free parking).  A short walk over Grantham’s bridge and you have arrived.  Take a left or a right for a circular walk – or be brave and make your way through the trees and get lost along the way!

A bit of “me” time

It’s a safe haven with some lovely views to take in.  A wonderful place to spend some “me” time, where you can let your imagination drift away whist taking in the views.

There’s about 6 benches dotted around for when you fancy a rest – and there’s a couple of picnic benches too, although they are looking a bit sorry for themselves at the moment.  There’s no other facilities, so be sure to take your own supplies when visiting!
