Eakring & Ling Forest

Interactive map displaying Eakring & Ling Forest

About

Eakring and the surrounding Ling Forest area is characterised by rolling agricultural land, with fields divided by hedgerows and scattered woodland. The landscape is shaped by its history of mineral extraction, with old oil wells and small-scale quarries now largely reclaimed by nature. This creates a patchwork of habitats across the area.

The presence of the former Dukes Wood oil field, where American oil workers helped the WWII effort, is marked by a commemorative statue and a network of quiet footpaths. These paths lead through mixed woodland and open heathland, typical of the forest area, offering views over the rural Nottinghamshire countryside.
