I have been visiting this ancient woodland regularly as part of my daily exercise. Seeing the changes as the bluebells and wild garlic emerge has been reassuring during this time of uncertainty. The excellent stewardship undertaken by the volunteer group The Friends of Hob Hey Wood wIll ensure that this ancient woodland will continue to enchant visitors for many years to come. Psalm 145:5 says: On the glorious splendour of your majesty and on your wondrous works I will meditate. The below poem, written during lockdown by Jayne Bryson, was inspired by childhood memories of Hob Hey Wood: Carolyn Frayne

Thanks to my cousin Carolyn for sharing my poem on your website and for her own beautiful words. I grew up in Frodsham and spent so many hours lost in the magic of Hob Hey Wood. Incidentally, the first part of the poem was inspired by the view from Camp Hill in Woolton, Liverpool, close to where I now live.
