Broxbourne Woods is a hidden treasure for nature lovers. The woodlands are absolutely stunning, with peaceful trails that wind through ancient trees and lush greenery. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature, whether you're walking, birdwatching, or just enjoying the serenity. The peaceful atmosphere makes it feel like you're miles away from everything. A must-visit for anyone who loves the outdoors!

One absolutely gorgeous location. My children and I absolutely love the walks through these woods. If driving late in the afternoon might not find parking space on a weekend. The scenery is simply beautiful. ♥️

Beautiful walk, quiet, however the only draw back is the car parks are not very big and can be hassle to park if busy but we'll worth a walk with sign posted trails so you don't get lost. Highly recommend. *****

First time visit on 3 Jan. Enjoyed walking through the woods. You can stick to the main tracks or take alternatives to go down deeper or climb higher. Seems a great place to take your dog for a walk too. Free parking available.

Went with 2 friends for a walk which was lovely. I’ve never seen so many mushrooms most of them poisonous but really beautiful. In some parts you feel like your in another country it’s lovely. I definitely would go again, if I can to escape people and pretend I live in a tepee for a afternoon.
