Welcome to Alice Holt Forest
Come for a great day out in the woods!
There's so much to do! You can walk, cycle, play or just have a picnic in these lovely woods. Experience life in the trees with Go Ape, take a relaxing break in our café and finish your visit with a quiet stroll in one of the more remote parts of the Forest.
Walking to Health walks take place every Tuesday evening until 25th August from 6.30 - 8pm. Meet at the Forest Classroom for an enjoyable walk in the woods. These walks are for adults only. There's no need to book but for more information you can ring 01420 520212 to speak to Kat or 01420 23666 to speak to Hazel.
Cycling is becoming a big feature of Alice Holt. A whole series of special cycle rides is planned this year with something for everyone and especially for those who haven't ridden a bike for some time. They will be run as part of the Cycling for All project. In addition we now have cycle hire for everyone run by Quench Cycles who can provide all the information you need about this (07921 572498). A new cycle track was opened on 14th June near the 3D maze which will be particularly ideal for use by beginners and people with special needs.
Hopes for the future of Alice Holt
To find out more about these take a look at our leaflet 'On your doorstep! A statement of direction for Alice Holt Forest'. Following discussions with our visitors and representatives of the local community, we’ve come up with some great plans that will ensure we provide what you want.
Nordic Walking is a very popular and sociable fitness activity in Europe and it's growing rapidly 
here. It will raise your fitness level whatever your current level. It's so popular here that our summer courses are full. However, we will be running a whole lot more from 2nd September (click here for details). Beginners' courses involve 4 weekly classes and Improvers' sessions take place at the same time. We also run a 'club' session most weeks on Tuesdays at 10am for those who no longer require tuition. Our instructors are fully qualified. Ring 01420 23666 to make a booking.

We are open all year and have something for everyone! Our events listing has details of all our events and you can also view our newsletter and events diary Holt Happenings here.
