The woods are particularly renowned for their spectacular displays of bluebells in the spring, and feature a collection of sculptures dotted throughout the landscape. The area is a working forest, managed with sensitivity to its natural environment.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited due to the uneven terrain and lack of paved paths. Some trails are more accessible than others, but the woods are generally not suitable for wheelchairs or those with mobility issues. The car park is unpaved and can be muddy.

Kid friendly

The woods are suitable for children, but require supervision. There are no dedicated play areas or facilities for children, but the natural environment provides opportunities for exploration and imaginative play. The sculpture trail can be of interest to children.

Pet friendly

Dogs are welcome, but must be kept under control. Limited dog waste bins.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are no food facilities within the woods themselves. Visitors are advised to bring their own food and drink. The George Inn at Molash is mentioned as a potential refreshment stop, but some visitors have reported an unfriendly welcome.

The hotel was a nice place to stay and the best part here was the free wifi and free parking which is the hardest thing to find in this city. The hotel was well equipped and the staff was very professional. The rooms were big enough and it was a decent stay which also included breakfast.

It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.

This is a marvellous place and has many things to see. We took a road trip to see this place and the journey was also great. The views along the way are stunning and fill your heart with all the warmth. Once you reach there, you simply forget everything else and enjoy the scenic views and appreciate the beauty all around.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.
