(Average user rating 5 unrated

An attractive and diverse woodland mostly planted in the 1950's on the site of disused extensive mineworkings. Rocky outcrops at Highcliff Nab and Hanging Stone provide views over Teesside and the Eston Hills. It is a perfect place to walk, ride or cycle with access up on the moors and beyond.

Great to have a cafe on the site although would have preferred a community based option (cheaper for families visiting) rather than a franchise. The site is getting better all the time, altough the loss of the shop is sadly felt - nice for children to visit and spend their pocket money after walking/biking through the forest and ponds.
