4.2/5)Bourne Wood is a quiet ancient woodland with mixed conifers and semi-natural broadleaf trees. There is a car park and picnic area - however, please be aware that there are NO TOILETS at this site. Visitors can walk up to the ponds where kingfishers and herons can often be seen. The Friends of Bourne Wood organise regular events throughout the year, so visit their website or look out for notices in the wood.

can you ride bikes here ?
Forestry Commission ResponseYou can ride bikes on the hard paths but we ask you stay off the grass paths, and also are considerate to other users of the wood. There are no dedicated bike trails.

Forestry Commission ResponseYes, horse riding is permitted in Bourne Woods, but only on the surfaced roads, not on the grass rides.
