The Church Path Trail
 

This is a circular walk, which takes you to the fallen Church Path Oak. This is one of Salcey's famous "druid" oaks, and was thought to be 400 years old when it finally fell, which was in 1995. The route can be muddy in times of rain.

How to get there:

The Church Path Trail can be started from Salcey Forest Access Point in Salcey Forest. Hartwell is the nearest town or village.

Salcey Forest is between Milton Keynes and Northampton, and located immediately to the east of the small village of Hartwell.

OS Grid Reference: SP 795514

Mammals: We have information about Fallow deer, Badger and Otter

Insects and reptiles: The common lizard likes to bask in the sun on top of the Church Path Oak, and on the fence surrounding it, so if you creep up quietly on a sunny day, you may spot one.
