I love coming here to walk my dog. It has two clearly marked walking routes a red and blue route that take you through the woodlands. There are very clear paths to follow if you choose to stick to these but the walking routes will take you off the main paths. If it has been raining you may need wellie boots if you move away from the main paths. There is also a picnic area if you wish to sit down for food you bring with you.

There are multiple trails. Dog enjoy off-leashed in the woods. The trails can be quite muddy after raining day. Not too many varieties. I was hoping there is a pond. There is no parking lot nearby. You have to find some street parkings.

How lucky are those that have this on thier door step. A lovely little walk in the woods today. Well pathed, push chair friendly and a great route for those on thier bikes. There are a few little break out areas, buried in the woods and well worth finding for yourselves. Definitely worth a wander during this difficult time, to clear your head and relax.

I run here with my dog almost every day. Plenty of paths and trails to provide over 10 miles, criss-crossing a structured and maintained woodland of chestnut, pine, oak and beech, with a small heathland of heather and fern. A bridleway skirts the border on one side. Riders are always polite, but learners are often brought here, so please ensure your dog is either secured or well behaved. Wellies will be required after rain, even for the main paths. Not suitable for wheelchairs in any conditions. No bins are inside the woods, but there is one at the Ferndell Avenue entrance.
