There are numerous ghost stories associated with that area. I’m sure that did not help with camping experience when we younger.

When we about ten a friends mother took about 7 of us to see this chap who lived in Turleigh (Not far from Winsley). He knew all the ghost stories for the area. Looking back it was an amazing thing for us to experience. If only I could remember them all.

As well as Ghost Stories there have also been Werewolf stories associated with those woods.

I have never liked that area where Conkwell leads into Warleigh. It just does not feel right. But like I said I expect it’s to do with the stories we were told.

Of course there is also the Story of Sally in Woods. She haunts the road near Warleigh Woods (The A363 to be precise). :D

When I visited the area with Chance I found the whole wood quite enchanting. Deer were running around almost everywhere and the moss on the stones shone with an lovely green glow despite the overcast day.
To me it didn't feel at all bad or evil.

Like Chance has said it is full of archaeology some of which must date from pre-Roman. It doesn't take much imaginatione to visualise the stone circle and is probably worth another visit and closer inspection before the vegetation takes hold in the summer.
