Precious Memories!
Some of my most precious memories of life belong to Menith Wood. My parents bought a caravan where we had many happy times on the “Bird in Hand” public house caravan site, opposite the woods. I remember feeding “Thomas” the boar, the wonderful walks with my parents and dog around the woodland. I picked wild flowers and could identify each one.

3 Eardiston View Menith Wood
I was around six when we moved from Bliss Gate to Menith Wood and left Menith Wood when I just turned fourteen. For the eight years to me Menith Wood was the best place in the world just a peaceful hidden clean beautiful village where all the village children played together and parents all knew each other, it was so safe that no one needed to lock doors and it was never any surprise for visitors to ...see more

The Bird In Hand
When I was a child in the ‘50’s around 5 years old my aunt and uncle ran this pub together with a couple of pigs, goats, chickens, geese and a cherry orchard! It was such fun spending weeks of school summer holidays there together with my sister.

Claywood And The Teem Valley Home 1949 To 1969
How wonderful to hear of one of my dear friend's memories of 1960s Menith Wood. Although I was actually born at "Eardiston" Farm called Moor Farm, in one of the converted barns in 1949, I spent all but the first few months of my life living at Upper Claywood, which was situated just below Menith Wood by a quarter of a mile. The position of the cottage was to look out over the ...see more
