Terrain:

Terrain: A varied landscape of wide, well-maintained gravel tracks, narrower winding woodland trails, and some sections with more uneven, natural surfaces. The terrain is generally flat with very gentle undulations. Paths can become muddy and puddly in parts, especially after rain or in wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots are recommended.

Accessibility: The main forest tracks are generally wide, firm, and relatively flat, making them suitable for most users, including those with robust pushchairs and some wheelchairs. However, many of the more informal woodland trails are uneven, with tree roots and potential for mud, making them less suitable for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs.

Facilities:

Toilets
