The woodland surrounding Colne Valley Charcoal Works forms part of a living landscape of coppice woodland, wildflower meadows, hedgerows and former railway lines now reclaimed by nature.
Willow from traditional cricket bat production, natural hardwood offcuts and woodland by-products are carefully repurposed into practical artisan products rather than wasted.
Otters, bats, stag beetles and woodland birds all form part of the landscape that shapes the character of the work.
