    Wonderful place for a gentle walk or if you're feeling a bit more adventurous the longer walk will challenge some

    For what appears to be such a small area it is a wonderful little tranquil pocket that is only yards away from my front door. As others have said, the paths can get pretty muddy but it’s wonderful to walk through.

    I love this little ancient woodland. So quiet and peaceful. Great wildlife spotted in it too - red kites, woodpeckers, deer, foxes, ...

    Love walking through the footpaths with the children and watching all the wild life in the ponds and trees. Can get very boggy so the kids love to try out their wellys

    Lovely woodland to walk through in spring and summer. Can get very boggy and waterlogged in winter with natural streams and deep filled ditches, so bring wellies. Running through the wood in middle is an overflow open drainage pipe. In winter water cascades out down through the woods, so take care with small children after heavy rainfall.
