The Hidden Beauty of the UK’s Rainforests

Temperate rainforests are lush, humid environments. The constant moisture creates the perfect conditions for a staggering array of ferns, lichens and fungi to thrive. They carpet the trees, meaning the forest floor extends upwards, turning branches into nature’s equivalent of a multi-storey car park.

These forests don’t just look magical – they sound it, too. The constant murmur of streams combines with birdsong from pied flycatchers, wood warblers and tree pipits to create an intricate, natural symphony.
