About Ratby Burroughs

Ratby Burroughs was a Tender Scheme winner for the Woodland Trust in 1995. Situated next to an existing areas of woodland, it covers 35ha including grassy paths and open areas.

An area of the site next to the adjacent woodland has been left to allow natural regeneration to take place. This will help to extend the area of ancient woodland and its associated flora.

The track down the edge of the wood sits atop the remains of a Mediaeval deer park bank and ditch. The old farmhouse, to which there is no public access, dates back to 1733 but a house has existed on the site since 1280.

Ratby Burroughs is on National Forest Coal Tips to Country Parks medium walk.
