The terrain in Chicksands Wood, Bedfordshire, consists of woodland paths and forest tracks which can be very uneven, muddy (especially after rain and in winter months), sandy in places (reflecting the local Greensand Ridge geology), and feature exposed tree roots. There are some gentle to moderate undulations and hills throughout the woods. Sturdy, waterproof footwear is highly recommended for navigating this Bedfordshire woodland comfortably. Be very aware of dedicated mountain bike trails which can be fast, technical, and feature jumps/obstacles; walkers should avoid these specific trails unless they are clearly marked as shared-use and then exercise extreme caution.
