Loved it here! Visited the forest today with our pooch & walked the Vinnalls Loop & other routes off the main loop. Stunning views. Steep in places but it's a lovely tranquil walk in nature with so much birdsong all around. Picnic tables. Free parking.

Nice little forest walk with clearly mapped trails, including some longer and more challenging options. There’s plenty of free parking and lots of picnic benches scattered throughout. The area has lots of tall trees and a few small waterfalls, and the hill itself is a steady climb rather than steep. We did the Vinnalls Loop with two children aged 10 and 12 and they managed it without any problems. It might be a little on the boring side for some kids as there aren’t many child-focused features like activity boards, climbing frames, or balance beams, but we still really enjoyed it. The highest point is about 189 metres and it was quite windy at the top, though most of the route is nicely sheltered. It took us around 1 hour 15 minutes to complete the loop with a few short stops along the way.

Enjoyed a really nice woodland walk using the 2 mile red path, the place has amazing scenery and was very peaceful. This is a woodland walk I would highly recommend. I would have give 5 stars, but, the only disappointment was the amount of poo bags thrown or left behind by dog walkers, really pathetic that these owners bag them and then leave them scattered all over the forest. Some blame need to lie with the staff running the site, they have a huge office and multiple cars so plenty of staff about, but nobody has found the time to put bins in to prevent dog owners leaving bags of poo all over.

A great forest to explore for a day out. There are paths and different routes to take. We parked at Vinnalls car park, it's a spacious car park and while there were a handful of cars, we barely saw any people - it wasn't overcrowded. If you're taking a reactive dog out, the main paths are wide enough to make space. Really enjoyed visiting and will come back again.

Absolutely stunning and glorious views! The forest offers a bonafide tapestry of weaved magic peeking through the trees that are often bearded with mist. It’s an incredibly beautiful and delightfully ethereal landscape that wouldn’t be out of place in a Lord Of The Rings film set. We adored it here and the horizon on the outskirts. You’ll find a lot of wildlife and forest surprises here, including flowers and earthy nature on proud display. Perfect for animals and children as well and true and blue countryside pastoral paradise for those who enjoy England’s majesty x Highly recommended!
