Description: Path through Freeholders Wood A footpath through this ancient woodland, which has had a history of coppicing. After decades of neglect, the wood was purchased by the National Park Authority in 1982 and the tradition of coppicing revived. The wood is divided into 36 plots which are coppiced on a rotation approximately every 15 years. Nowadays the main benefit of coppicing is to enhance the flora and fauna of the wood.
