Slinter Woodland

As well as being part of the World Heritage Site, The Slinter Wood area has been designated a Derbyshire Wildlife site, a Local Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature and a Special Area of Conservation by the European Habitats Directive.

The tree that is special in these ancient woods is the large-leaved lime. This is confined to the limestone, and grows in steep, ravine-like terrain, often on cliff edges. It grows as a huge stool with several main trunks arising from the same base.
