Shepherd's Wood is a wonderful place to visit in Summer.
You can hear the twitter of birds in the sky and the rustling of leaves on the many trees.
In Winter the landscape changes completely, the wood is silent and the snow lays in thick layers on the ground. The tree branches look bare without their leaves.
Many years ago, the wood was lived in and owned by the Shepherd family. Unfortunately seven years ago, there was a great fire and sadly the house and part of the wood were ruined.
Peter Shepherd, his wife Carol Shepherd and their children, Sarah and James Shepherd were very sorry that they had to say goodbye to the wood.
After much consideration, the people who used the wood to have picnics or to take a afternoon walk came to a decision. They thought it would be nice if the wood could be named in memory of the Shepherd family.
Butterwick Primary School created this desciption.
