About

The spectacular ancient woodland is the perfect place to take relaxing, tranquil woodland walks. The site makes use of the numerous footpaths, bridleways and long distance trails that run through the reserve, to offer a variety of routes to enjoy.

It also has an easy access route for those with mobility problems.

The reserve is unusual in that it is still actively managed in a traditional way. It is because of this management that it attracts an outstanding collection of birds and moths.
