Brilliant afternoon hiking the trails — the panoramic views from One Tree Hill are absolutely stunning on a clear day! 🥾🌤️ Loads of open space for the kids and dogs to run wild, and the woodland walks feel miles away from the daily grind. 🐕‍🦺🌲 We packed a picnic and found a gorgeous quiet spot surrounded by trees and wildlife. 🧺🦋 Such a peaceful escape so close to town — already planning our next weekend wander here! 🚗✨

Well-established trails, good for dog-walking and being close to nature. There is a free car park.

I’ve travelled all over the world and I think this is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I walk for miles and miles with my dog here. So many routes you can do. I don’t think people realise how beautiful Basildon can be. 🤣 Check it out if you like woodland, nature and stunning landscapes. Great views towards the Thames.

This place is beautiful. There is free parking. However, all the toilets were shut, and with 3 little ones, it meant we had to leave earlier than planned as they needed the loo. We drove to another car park but the toilets were shut too. Which was disappointing. The paths are not wheelchair friendly as there are stairs and narrow pathways through the bushes and forest. We managed a short walk but turned back as it was exhausting with a pram. There are beautiful views from the top of the stairs, but unfortunately, people had picnics and left their rubbish behind, and there were flies everywhere, so we couldn't fully enjoy the spot. Would have loved to have sat down and enjoyed the space. There are a few picnic tables near the car park. All shaded under the tree, makes a nice spot on a hot day.

Perfect park, different carparks and different access routes, today went to the park behind the Miller and Carter steakhouse, just like the other side there is a toilet block and car park, lots of dog walkers and due to the time of year and weather boots and warm clothes recommended Update as you can see from the latest photos which are from One tree hill after the snow, its very muddy and wellies are essential and even with those it's pretty difficult to walk safely over some of the entrances and exits to wooded areas and fields, my advice is stick to the paths at the bottom that run parallel to the fields
