What's of interest

The ancient Wyre Forest produces some of the most fantastic Autumn colours in the Midlands. The magnificent oak trees produce a rich harvest while the forest floor is alive with a huge variety of colourful fungi.
The huge douglas firs produce the perfect back-drop for the rich variety of colourful broad leaved trees found around the visitor centre and way-marked trails.
