A Woodland Haven in the Heart of Coalbrookdale

Jiggers Bank Woodland is a beautiful, natural green space offering visitors a peaceful retreat and a chance to explore the diverse habitats of the Severn Gorge. With its mix of mature trees, woodland undergrowth, and open glades, the woodland is home to a rich variety of wildlife and plants.

Walking through Jiggers Bank, you might spot birds, insects, and small mammals thriving in this quiet haven.

In 2025, a harvest mouse nest was discovered at the site — a remarkable find that highlights the importance of Jiggers Bank as a safe habitat for rare and vulnerable species. The harvest mouse is Britain’s smallest rodent and its presence indicates a healthy, well-managed ecosystem.
