The Sleeping Dragon!

On PRIVATE LAND but visible from the lane opposite Willingstone Rock. The tor belongs to Running Deer C.I.C which is a non-profit organisation whose main aim is to encourage people in the community to make a difference in their lives. Their website says of Butterdon Wood: “Running Deer C.I.C purchased the 16 acre woodland in July 2013 as an overgrown plantation of Japanese Larch trees with mixed broadleaf including hazel, sweet chestnut, sycamore, cherry, holly and a few oak growing around the periphery.” And in the same work: “…we have planted over 3,000 indigenous broadleaf trees at Butterdon Wood, alongside encouraging natural regeneration of native species following the removal of the Japanese Larch.”
