Lovely walk, peaceful and quiet through the woods, following the stream down to the river. Mainly dog walkers about. Took offroad pushchair for little one. Some areas tough to navigate with it but manageable. Not a large area to walk round but good for an hour's fresh air. Plenty of parking on nearest road "The New Cut". The main gate entrance is very narrow to stop people with bikes etc getting through so be aware with a pushchair/buggy. Lift over job if with other people. I was on my own, but fortunately I can unhook a tyre and fix back on once through the entrance.
Beautiful setting for a refreshing walk. Visited in summer: ground soft underfoot in places but perfectly fine in casual shoes. Tree cover meant it was lovely and cool. Would recommend getting your bearings on Google Maps before going in, or (better still) downloading a footpath map from OpenStreetMap.
Lovely woodland, kids loved it and saw 2 Goshawks.
Peaceful unspoilt wooded area tall trees great for walking and wildlife spotting. Green and greater spotted woodpeckers seen as well as Buzzards and Kestrels circling overhead.
The kids love playing on the rope swing over the river. Getting wet and muddy then visiting a pub. A great way to get everyone to walk 5 miles
