      Explore the forest

      Take your little one on a relaxing wander through the woodland and let them enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the forest. If you prefer to travel around on two wheels, you can hire buggy trailers from the Cycle Centre – be sure to check your village map for the cycle routes. Stroll around the lake and spot ducklings as you go, and stop off for a coffee or lazy lunch at one of our cafes and restaurants.

      Please be aware that due to the nature of the forest, not all woodland paths are suitable for prams and pushchairs.
