Villagers Launch Campaign for Access Rights to Private Woodland

Villagers may soon be engaged in a battle with the owner of a private woodland to ensure continued access for walking.

Residents have formed the group Woodland Watchers to campaign for continued access to Pentney Woods.

The woodland's owner, Colin Pennington, has been granted permission to build eco-lodges, sparking fears of closure.

The woods are home to rare wildlife.

Villagers refuse to abandon their ambitions, citing the woodland's importance for local wildlife.
