What's of interest

This wood is so full of variety, you get a different view around every corner. A good brisk walk does wonders for the waistline, too! PLEASE NOTE: due to it's poor condition, the car park will be closed for the forseeable future. However, the wood remains fully open and you are welcome to walk in it and enjoy it.
