Historical Significance
Hermit’s Wood is home to the Hermitage, a cave believed to be carved out in the early 1100’s being the home to a former baker from Derby whose religious experience led him to the area where he also created a nearby chapel, now Dale Abbey Church.

Access
There is a footpath to the side of Dale Abbey Church and adjoining the property.

We understand there is a right of way on foot from Woodpecker Hill across adjoining grassland and also by vehicles and on foot for purposes of management of the woodland and the cutting down and carting away of timber and carrying out fencing, making good any damage or paying compensation.

Directions
From the A6096 turn off onto Arbour Hill, the exit for Dale Abbey. When into the village take a right, and follow until you reach the junction with Tattle Hill and park in this area of the village – please do not drive to Dale Abbey Church.

The wood can also be accessed along the public footpath from Woodpecker Hill to the east where there is a lay-by to park.

Rights of Way, Wayleaves & Easements
