Lovely woodland walk with streams. Saw a green woodpecker and a sloworm 😀 Lots of nice fungi when we visited too. Well worth a visit, although the car park is quite small.

Beautiful undulating wooded reserve with mature trees, springs and streams, boardwalk paths over marshy areas, flock black sheep! Ideal for kids and dogs, small car park but usually space. Next to foodie Pub, Newbourne Fox.

Very nice walk in the nature, along side river. Perfect to recharge your inner self. Have been last year and again now and would go again for sure. Not many people on the way and only few cars in the car park.

Lovely walks, nature abound, clear spring waters and great for picnic on top fields. Children love it.
