Wilverley Wander


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)
This trail takes you through Wilverley Inclosure which was first enclosed (fenced) in 1775. The first trees planted did not grow, so the inclosure was"thrown open" to the Forest in 1808, but in 1809 it was re-fenced and planted with oaks. Some of these oaks can still be seen around the car parks and scattered around the inclosure. The inclosure today is a mixture of confirs and broadleaves, old and young, with some open areas making it a beautiful and interesting place to walk. The surface has been classed as moderatly smooth and gravelled
