This image gallery gives an impression of the beautiful countryside which surrounds the Woodland Education Centre, near Offwell in rural East Devon, England. Situated about 9 miles from the English Channel coast, the Offwell Valley lies at the head of the larger Axe Valley. Much of this rural area is covered by farmland consisting of small, irregularly shaped green fields. These are interspersed with deciduous, coniferous and mixed woodland. Many of the hedges that separate the fields are hundreds of years old and are an important habitat for wildlife. The Offwell Brook runs through the valley and can be seen in some of the images. The brook feeds water into the important wetland habitats of the Woodland Education Centre, before eventually running into the River Axe which reaches the sea at Axmouth near the town of Seaton, some 9 miles to the south.
