Tree Walk
 

This trail starts at the Grove Car park, approximately two miles beyond the Visitor Centre on the Forest drive. A short pleasant walk around the Grove taking in a wide variety of trees, planted at the turn of the century by the Surtees family who were keen naturalists. Look out for the Giant redwood, yew and the monkey puzzle tree. The route drops behind the Grove to the Nest cottage, a former farm belonging to the Surtees and now a training centre, then crosses to the Euden Beck to return to the Grove car park.
