Author Review

This is a lovely area to walk through, it's really quite large and has a great mix of hard paths and winding woodland trails.

It is a very popular area, so expect to see other dog walkers, families out with pushchairs, cyclists etc, but if you stick to the smaller woodland trails you can still be off exploring for ages without really bumping into anyone else.

There's lots of rarer birds and red squirrels around, so keep an eye open, and there's a red squirrel hide that's signposted in the middle-ish. There's more to explore than we did on this route, and you can make it shorter or longer by choosing different paths. The smell of the different flowers was fantastically strong on this day, but we were there Easter weekend!
