Walking trails, picnic benches and a definite folklore ambience await at Thieves Wood. Once the hunting ground of robbers and highwaymen and with associations to folklore legend Robin Hood, if the trees could talk, they'd surely have great tales to tell. There's a refreshment cabin at the car park for that all important refuel after a ramble.

Hiking

Great alternative to Sherwood pines - smaller but still some nice walks and bike trails. Plenty of free parking too.
