About Fermyn Woods
Fermyn Woods are ancient woodlands containing semi-natural oak and ash woods, along with conifer plantations. The woods were managed as coppices for many centuries, a practice that will begin again as the woods are converted to semi-natural broadleaf woodland under the 'Ancient Woodland Project'. Part of the Country Park, which includes a former ironstone quarry, is managed by Northamptonshire County Council. The Country Park has a large pay and display car park, visitor centre and toilets. Refreshments are available when the Visitor Centre is open. Waymarked trails, including an all-ability access route leave from the visitor centre. The Fermyn Forest Walk takes visitors up into the woods. The wood has been mapped for orienteering, and leaflets are available from the visitor centre.
How to get there:
Fermyn Woods is part of Rockingham Forest. Corby / Thrapston is the nearest town or village.
Fermyn Woods Country Park (at Fermyn Woods) is signposted from the A6116 (Corby to Thrapston road)at Brigstock.
