What do other visitors say?

On(Saturday 04/05) my wife and I had a very pleasant walk from Earnwood car park to Dowles Brook. Though there are fixed maps at a couple of places, it would be very advantageous if there was a leaflet with maps availlable. I have looked on the internet but cannot find any maps even of "Buzzard", "Woodpecker or "Wren" trails. Much as we enjoy the Callow Hill facilities, we prefer the more peaceful areas away from the "commercialized" areas! I must just add, I think the internet coverage of The Forest of Wyre to be excellent.

Took my 4yr old grandson on the Buzzard trail & we saw a family of deer, he walked almost the whole 3.25 miles on his own & loved it!
