Green Walk


(Average user rating3 unrated 3/5)
The Green Walk takes the visitor into the forest through a mix of mature and young plantations. The wide grassed track passing through the avenue of limes and past the toilet facilities is part of the old carriage drive that led to Lynford Hall. Visitors wishing to extend their stay can make a longer walk by heading north along this route to Lynford Lakes, then returning by the same path.

Nice routes with not too much close planted pine. Nice avenues but no other views. Does not take anything near an hour!
