Dog Walking

As you'd imagine the woodland trails are ideal for dog walking so you'll probably see other owners on your visit.

Further Information and Other Local Ideas

To continue your walking in the area head south and you could visit the Potteric Carr Nature Reserve. Here you'll find 500 acres of marsh, scrub, waterways, grassland and woodland with lots of wildlife to see as well.
To the east you can pick up the Peatlands Way to explore Thorne Moors and Hatfield Moors, part of the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve. The moors are the second largest lowland raised peat bog in England and notable for their diversity of wildlife and plantlife.
