I am Giving a 1 Star review as it stands as we tried to take our dog here, google maps gave us directions but as it was not very well signposted we were unable to locate three brooks and therefore unable to actually experience taking the dog for a walk here for me to give higher star rating and proper review!

This is such a lovely little forest to have a walk in. It was full of squirrels too! Accessability wise it does have some fairly steep parts, but the path was smooth the whole way around.

Nice circular walk from the skate park round to the lake and back with the option of walking up to the Tump, to get a view from higher ground. Never really get away from the traffic noise but nice views and fresh air nonetheless.

This is one of my favorite places to take a walk or a mini Trek. You'll be amazed with nature and get relaxed.
