Beautiful in all seasons. Small woodland which is separated by a road but linked by a bridge which you can walk under if you have your wellies. Fantastic off the lead, lots of things for the kids to get stuck into, rope swings etc, but for our four legged family members just a brilliant place for them to roam around.
