Another view in Twigmore Woods, showing part of one of the ponds with golden flags. A self-sown silver birch is doing well at the edge of the pond despite the water being very acidic. Most of the azaleas had purple flowers but a few we bright red and a few white. Azaleas are not native so initially a result of deliberate planting. The ground is undulating and is part of an area of post-glacial cover sands, infertile for arable agriculture.
The diverse woodlands and forests around Scunthorpe are a real asset to the region.
