Benton Wood is home to Benton Castle, one of several former castles in the region that have since become fortified residences. The woodland here is a mixture of broadleaf trees and conifers. In summer, listen out for the distinctive sounds of the wood warbler and chiffchaff, which migrate from Africa to breed here.

You'll only get a glimpse of Benton Castle as it's a private residence. Probably dating back to the 13th century, it has since been restored and now makes for an unique home.
