A lovely woodland throughout. Motorbikes are not allowed. Always report any if you come across them, call the Police Non-Emergency number 101 to give details. The more reports the more chance that action will be taken. The police have been very good generally. There have been near misses involving children and horses so please call 101 if you see or hear any.

Living in a place that is filled with other people's noise, I find that Kings Wood is an oasis of peace and nature. I love the fact that although the wood is well used, I hardly ever meet anybody and an enjoy the solitude. Thank you. Is there a basic plan/map by any chance? At times I enjoy finding my own routes and getting slightly lost, but I don'e always have the time for that.

I brought our daughter's dog Monty to visit the woods on 7th May 2012. He has cancer and may not last much longer, but he really loves the woods and they are magical with bluebells at this time of year. No need for signs or maps - I always carry a small compass and I know that heading south will always take you back to the car park. There were large numbers of people in the car park when we arrived, but we chose a secluded path and did not meet another soul on our walk. A very happy and memorable visit.
