Terrain:

Terrain: A diverse mix of wide, well-maintained forest tracks, narrower winding trails, and some steeper slopes. The paths are generally gravel or compacted earth, but can become very muddy and rutted, especially after rain or during wetter seasons.

Accessibility: While the main forest tracks offer a good surface and are relatively wide, many of the smaller trails within Eggesford Forest are uneven, with tree roots, varying gradients, and potential for deep mud. This makes some sections less suitable for those with mobility issues or pushchairs.
