Great place for a peaceful visit. The track is only 0.8 miles but really nice.

It's ok for a short walk as the loop is less than a mile around it. It's probably idea for young children or people with mobility issues as it's not too far but I ended up going around it three times with my dog. It's really well kept and the path around the outside is quite level. Worth visiting if you are local.

Very pleasant walk in the woods. Great accessibility for mobility scooters and pushchairs. Wide open circular path which is one of the reasons we went there. Dog friendly. Parking is available, but not a huge amount. The larger car park is on the opposite side of the road to one of the entrances. Access is through a fairly large kissing gate which you can just about get mobility scooters through with a bit of manoeuvring. A couple of other entrances looked like easier access, but with less parking nearby. But all in all, a lovely walk alongside the bluebells.

Came here with our two spaniels had a lovely walk. There are some magical little clearings to pause in. We checked out parking on google maps before we left. Its a lovely area to wander around with some majestic great oaks. We loved it and is definately on our list to return.
