I regularly travel to this forest to walk with my dog. I love it. The walks are well marked and easy to follow.

I walk my dogs regularly in this forest and love it. Although popular with walkers and horse riders, it is still very quiet and peaceful. Views from the paths in the centre of the forest are fairly limited, but from the edges of the forest, there are some great ones.
