About the route

Beginning at the car park, the trail follows a tranquil circular walk through the mixture of pines and broad leaves, showcasing the vast variety the Wood has to offer. The trail has a good surface throughout, initially on forests roads before joining compacted stone on the return section. There are few hills and no gates or steps making it accessible to most. The trail is fully waymarked and can be followed by the yellow waymarkers with black arrows.
