Prisk Wood is a very special ancient woodland in the care of the Gwent Wildlife Trust and situated on a steep slope above the River Wye. A striking feature is the mass of mosses, liverworts and ferns which carpet boulders, tree stumps and fallen tree trunks. Within this wood stands a magnificent pollarded lime tree with a large crown producing many flowers for bees. It is said that limes were favoured in the Wye Valley as there was a rope making factory next to the river.
