The story behind Wirral's 'haunted' ancient woodland now dedicated to the Queen

An ancient woodland in the Wirral is soon to be dedicated to the Queen in celebration of the platinum jubilee, however some say that there are mysterious forces at work among the trees.

Dibbinsdale local nature reserve has recently been chosen as one of 70 ancient woodlands nationwide to be dedicated to the Queen in celebration of her platinum jubilee. The Queen's Grand Canopy project, which will be giving the nature reserve it's Royal recognition, was launched by the Prince of Wales to protect ancient woodlands, and to conserve their histories and the stories behind them.

But Dibbinsdale may stand out as unique among these 70 other locations. This is because of the folk tales that are told of the ancient woodland, which some say are haunted by two mysterious figures.
