I met my daughter and grandchildren here. It's a great place although it might be a bit hilly for some. There are lots of trails with different activity areas for children at various points along them. The children really enjoyed it. The parking is expensive though, but I suppose it's not bad as the there's no entry fee on top.

It’s one of the best places in Buckinghamshire for snow play. The forest sits at a relatively high elevation, and the majority of it lies on a north-facing slope, receiving very limited sunlight during the winter. These natural conditions make it an ideal location for preserving snow. There are numerous hiking trails throughout the forest, along with a large car park and a café. With plenty of attractions for children, it’s a very family-friendly destination.

First time here, took my grandson to do the stick man trail, he loved it. Highly recommend this place, lovely walks, views and plenty for a four year old to do. Took his bike and he was happy riding about plenty of room to climb , explore and just being a kid 👍, will definitely go back. Good toilets, cafe and plenty of seats.

Our new favourite hiking place. It is stunning. We were particularly blessed by the autumnal displays if colouring leaves. The restaurant is good, quick service and the food is perfect for an outing such as this. There are several routes to take depending on one's interest, level of fitness and time available. Some cycle routes as well. Highly recommended.
