I had my dog as well and he was good as gold. May be worth putting signss up as to want is in the wood as a Deer,fox,Pheasent plus more i expect would bring more visitors

Fantastic opportunity for combining 3 areas into a good dog walk the only problem can be parking . Overscourt on the siston road can be very slippery for a convential car and Warmley Old Station seems to fill up with car driving cycle commuters who fill the spaces up early unload their bikes and cycle into town to save parking fees !!

Extensive and varied, these woodlands are well worth a visit. Only downside is the number of dogs that are not properly controlled, but that is a minor inconveneience for walks that can take you to Mangotsfield, Siston village, Webbs Heath and on to Warmley Forest.
