    Tips

    August 3, 2023

    Savernake Forest is a reminant of the vast ancient woodland which once covered much of Britain. It's a former Royal Stag hunting forest. Today it's privately owned but open to the public and managed by the Forestry England. It's home to numerous ancient trees, mostly Oaks between 1,000 & 1,100 years old. Many are individually named, reflecting the appearance and character of these amazing life forms.

      Look out for deer, squirrels and rare lichens on old trees.

        There are many narrower walkways within the forest which take you to the quieter and most interesting parts.
