Terrain:

Terrain: A beautiful and unique urban park, famous for being an historic golf course now reclaimed by nature. The terrain is wonderfully undulating, with significant, but generally gentle, slopes and rises. Paths are a mix of wide, mown grassy tracks, informal earth paths, and some gravel sections. Expect paths to be very muddy and prone to puddles in lower-lying areas or after rain, especially on the grassy slopes. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots with good grip are highly recommended.

Accessibility: Due to the undulating terrain and often grassy, uneven paths, Warley Woods can be challenging for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs. It requires a reasonable level of fitness.

Facilities:
Toilets, Cafe, Pub Nearby, - The park has a community-run cafe called The Hub with toilets. The main paths are wheelchair and pushchair accessible. The Dog pub is nearby.

Dog Notes:

Dog-Friendliness: Warley Woods is an absolutely fantastic and incredibly popular destination for dog walkers, offering vast open spaces, rolling hills, and a unique atmosphere! Dogs are very welcome throughout the woods, providing ample opportunity for both on-lead strolling and responsible off-lead play. However, it is crucial to be highly mindful of the park's popularity, other visitors (including families and children), and its open nature (shared with all users). Always ensure your dog is under control and has excellent recall.
