Besides the fact that Lancaster University is among the top rated universities of England it has another jewel in its crown.

| Woodland Trail, Lancaster University |
The Woodland Trail that encircles the University is superb for both the nature and the sports enthusiasts.
 |
| A canopy of trees, Woodland trail, Lancaster University |
This beautiful 4.3 km walk amidst the woodland canopy has mainly trees of beech, oak and sycamore. The earlier plants were planted in 1841 on the Bigforth Estate and later additions do include maple and poplar trees.

| View of countryside from the Woodland trail |
The walk takes you sometimes amidst dense foliage of trees and sometimes gives you the view of the open countryside.
 |
| The Lake on Lancaster University Campus |
The south-eastern part of the woodland trail takes you next to a lake that has lotus flowers blooming as well as several ducks on its water body.
 |
| The Bailrigg House, Lancaster University |
The north-eastern part of the walk next to the sports centre takes you near the beautiful old building - Bailrigg House - that has been built around 1899.

| Flowers on the Woodland Trail |
The woodland is home to several birds and on several trees I saw the bird houses built by the University. The undergrowth also had several kinds of wild flowers blooming making the walk even more beautiful.

One of the best parts was to enjoy the beautiful sunsets sitting on one of the benches in the south-west part of the campus.

During my stay on the campus I did the walk several times and enjoyed it thoroughly each time. With such a beautiful woodland trail within the campus what more can one ask?
