Beautiful woods, nicely maintained walks throughout the trees. Has little fairy doors for kids to find (not all of them are down low). If you want to know where the fairies are, there are maps on the benches in various locations in the woods. There is also a pasture with a "beehive" the kids can climb about.

Great wee place to go for a walk with kids or the dog, I took my 4yr old on her balance bike today to go looking for the fairy houses, I had already printed off a map so we knew where we were going which was a def advantage and saved us lots of wandering aimlessly looking for them. Also spotted some ducks and collected conkers :)

Quiet mature woods with good clear paths. If you prefer....there are rough not so clear paths too. There are streams, ponds, hidden sculptures, fairy houses....wild flowers...even a new apple Orchard. Great for a couple of hours wandering.
