Best Hikes to Harpford Woods

Tips

  • Just east of the tiny village of Harpford, these woods are like a magical world. Vibrant, luscious and filled with ferns, walking along the trail here transports you to this other world. The trees are improbably tall and a disused Victorian railway lies on the north side of the trail, covered in creeping ivy.

    These woods are simply stunning and the stream running along the south side of the path is the icing on the cake.

  • Glorious woodland to walk through, good for bird watching. My partner and I saw a Greater Spotted Woodpecker and a Goldcrest on our last walk here.

  • This beautiful place has been ruined by euroforest tree felling and not clearing up after the utter devastation they've caused.
    The personal responsible for the mess should be strung up in this forest for all to see
