The Ercall Bluebell Woods

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ercall is a small hill immediately north of the Wrekin and falls within the same conservation site. Once extensively quarried, it's now a wonderful place to ramble about. The woodlands are home to many species of birds and insects. The exposed quarried areas are rich in plant life, bringing birds and butterflies en masse. In spring, the bluebells here are exceptional.
