Moderate

Terrain:

Terrain: A fascinating and varied landscape, transformed from a former industrial site (mining and quarrying) into a thriving nature reserve. Paths are primarily natural earth and leaf litter, with some compacted tracks. The terrain is generally gently undulating, with some short, moderate slopes as you navigate the contours of the reclaimed land. Expect paths to be very muddy and prone to puddles, especially after rain or in wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable, waterproof walking shoes or boots are highly recommended.

Accessibility: Due to the natural, unpaved surfaces, uneven ground, and potential for deep mud, Rough Wood Chase is generally not suitable for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs.

Facilities:

There are no facilities on site. The paths are not suitable for most wheelchairs or pushchairs.
