Wellbeing trail at Alice Holt Forest

Spending time amongst the trees and really noticing nature is scientifically proven to boost our mental and physical health. Take some time for you and try our new wellbeing trail at Alice Holt Forest, a mindful walk through the forest that invites you to really relax.

Panels along the trail will prompt you to stop, notice and connect with the wellbeing benefits of the forest environment.

About the route 

You will find the Wellbeing Trail along the Easy Access route, next to the first car park. This is an accessible, looped 1.5-mile trail through coniferous and mixed broadleaf woodland. 

The walk finishes back at the beginning of the Easy Access trail and leads to our small car park. Follow the path back to the Hub area where you will find our cafe, toilets and the Visitor Centre.

What to expect

Themed panels along the trail will invite you to pause, notice and connect with the forest environment around you. The path is surfaced, accessible and has minimal elevation. Please be mindful some sections may have exposed tree roots.

A forest wellbeing journal is also available to help you get even more benefit from the experience, offering additional mindful things to do while you’re out in the forest and at home.  

Get your copy on-site at the Visitor Centre or download your forest wellbeing journal before you visit. 

This trail is supported by Sport England using National Lottery funding.
