Woodlark Trail at Wareham Forest
Woodlark Trail at Wareham Forest
Follow the way-marked posts around a loop which starts and finishes at the Sika Trail car park.
The paths are good and will lead you through a patchwork of different habitats which support a wealth of rare and diverse plant life.
The Woodlark walking trail is named after the rare ground-nesting bird whose lovely song you may hear on your walk.
Please be aware that cattle also graze in the area during the summer months so keep an eye out for seasonal signage.
