Trail description
The Elephant Walk is suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs and is on surfaced ground. It is named after the Elephant Pond, which it passes by. These massive creatures worked in the forest during the Second World War, and came to this pond to cool off after a hard day's work. The trail incorporates the exciting Tree Top Way, a canopy walkway which rises to a height of 20 metres, giving a real 'squirrel's eye view'! The walkway is wheelchair accessible to a height of 15 metres.

I visit this forest at least three times a week to walk my two German Shepherds, who love the walks, the smells and the ponds! The walks are well signed, mostly flat and accessible for both walking and buggies/wheelchairs, and there is lots to see. My treat at the end of our walk is the cafe where I treat myself to a drink and cake.
