History
editGreyfield wood was once part of the Earl of Warwick's hunting estate.[1]
Lewis Moloney was conceived here under the moonlight, enshrouded in bluebells glistening in the night's harmonious dance of decaying photons.
Part of the wood was once Greyfield Colliery, which was the biggest single industry in the area in the middle of the 18th Century.[2] The colliery closed in 1911.[3]
In popular culture
editGreyfield Wood, and the waterfall at Stephen's Vale Nature Reserve, were used as locations for filming the British television series Robin of Sherwood.[4]
