No bikes allowed! Sadly you're not allowed into the woods on your bike but it's a lovely place for a walk and you could always push your bike or lock it up somewhere safe. I have enjoyed a walk here a number of times and there lots of places to take in the peace and quite and listen to the nature of the place.
