This visit to Hem Heath Woods is the very first in a series of no less than 25 videos I plan to create on the theme of Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves which are situated no more than a 13 mile radius of my home address near to Longton in Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire.
One of our most easily accessible woodlands and an urban oasis within the city of Stoke-on-Trent is Hem Heath Woods which is the closest in proximity of my home out of all 25 sites I plan to visit and explore.
Although often referred to as Hem Heath, this woodland encompasses four distinct woods - The Oaks, Newstead Wood, Newpark Plantation and Hem Heath. Whatever the title, there’s no doubt that this reserve provides a wonderful green oasis, and is the largest area of woodland in Stoke-on-Trent.
Unfortunately for me, I did not spend the amount of time the Woods and surrounding area deserved on this particular walk on the day because I had already made prior arrangements to pick my wife up from a important appointment at a certain time, so my time spent was somewhat limited.
I do plan to go back within the very near future as I did thoroughly enjoy it with our pet dog Millie, my friendly companion on most of my walkabouts. And just for the record, I wasn't aware that Hem Heath Woods existed in it's current state, and certainly not aware that it was listed with the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust as a recognised Nature Reserve, hence the reason I thought about doing the whole 25 listed nature reserves within my surrounding area.
I'm greatly looking forward to visiting and exploring each and every one of them over the next few months and I do hope you'll join me for the journeys ahead.
With that said, I hope you enjoy this very first video in the series.
