Not so good in the rain but on a good day it's fine.
Great walk. You'll need sturdy boots if you're taking the lakeside walk
Visited the woods a few years ago and enjoyed it enough I decided to revisit. Unfortunately the dirt track leading from the single track road towards the car park is still pretty badly full of potholes - which is fine if you have a 4x4, not so great if you don't but if you go slowly it's not so bad. Limited parking - would say enough spaces for about 10 cars max (so long as everyone parks considerately). No bins available, but despite this I didn't see any litter lying around except for the occasional dog mess. Decided to walk up towards the picnic area/viewpoint expecting to have a nice view at the top - maybe on a brighter day you can see further afield, but all I saw was the tops of the trees! There is one bench, but no picnic/table benches so if you're planning a picnic there bear this in mind. The walk from this point through the trees is really nice and I was lucky enough to spot a deer. There are steps down at the furthest end, but they're not steep so should be fine for most walkers. Walked back to the car park via the riverside walk, which is really lovely and there are a couple of benches along the way to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Would recommend it as a great place to go for a walk, especially with a dog, but it was very muddy in places so would recommend suitable footwear. Easy enough to find following satnav instructions, but just be aware of the potholes!
Lovely place to walk, take my dogs here. Parking can be hard during the weekend as very very limited spaces. Lots of different paths, which all vary in difficulty.
Awesome Place! popped in for a country side walk with little one in Spring. Junior loved it. Make sure you know how to get there before you leave home though, its one of those places that if you know where you are going its easy to find otherwise it can be difficult. The paths are easy to walk for the able bodied, the views are beautiful. The references to the fairies periodically are amusing for little ones and older ones alike. Took about an hour to walk round the short walk with a 3yr old. Lots of mini beasts to spot, wild life to listen to and stumps and rocks and mounds of earth to jump on and over and go around. Will revisit.
