Love walking? Each cottage has a book with local walks and we are always happy to talk you through the various options from a quick stroll to a longer hike. From the doorstep you can walk for miles, we often explore Deadman's Gutter with our boys where they can splash in the stream. Your water loving dogs would also really enjoy it! For a longer walk you can go across the Forest to Woodgreen where the lovely Horse and Groom serve an excellent lunch. You can also pick up a few supplies in the Woodgreen Community Shop whilst you are there. Depending on the route you take it is probably a couple of hours to get there.
There are many car parks across the Forest where you can stop and explore the area. Not feeling very confident map reading? Then head towards Bolderwood or Blackwater and follow one of the marked routes.
