    Shaw's Park and Knollshaw

    Image Owner: munki @ Shootability.co.uk

    Shaw's Park as it is shown on some modern maps, is said to have been a deer park or forest and the name Shaw itself is of ancient origin, thought to derive from the Old English 'Scaga' meaning a small wood or grove. Shaw's Park was originally part of the ancient Knoll Estate and the two names are combined on older maps as Knollshaw.

    Today the area is a pleasant native woodland with several interesting and craggy streams including the River Douglas. The rock strata around the woodland streams seems fairly weak and many interesting geological features including examples of 'ripple' or 'current' beddding.
