Feel Good Forest Trail at Great Wood

Connect with nature and feel good

Whether you're in England or the Amazon of South America, forests are amazing places. 

We've teamed up with WWF to create an interactive family-friendly trail that provides an exciting way to get your daily dose of nature. Boost your wellbeing as you unwind and connect with trees and wildlife on a beautiful forest walk.

What to expect on the trail

Themed panels along the trail are designed to spark curiosity and imagination, complete with fun activities to help children explore the wonders of England's forests and compare them to the Amazon rainforest. Enjoy spotting minibeasts or tuning into birdsong, it's a great way to enjoy nature together.
