As you walk through Stenholt Forest, a peaceful woodland that provides a wonderful contrast to the open heathland nearby, you experience a mix of both coniferous and deciduous trees. It offers a serene hiking experience. As you walk, you can enjoy the shade and the sounds of the forest, making it a great place to find a moment of peace.
