Where we are

About

Mature woodland of tall beech and sycamore trees

This mature woodland of tall beech and sycamore trees is ideal for those seeking some fresh air. Listen for the birds singing in spring and summer, enjoy the colours of the leaves in autumn, and admire the lacework of branches in winter.

Most of the paths are wide, smooth and flat, with a surface of gravel or grass. There are some short steep sections, and the terrain can get muddy in places after rain.
