This sprawling mixed woodland covers the side of Hood Hill and reaches up to the Kilburn White Horse. There are seemingly endless trails through the woods and you can hike for hours here, enjoying the sights and sounds of the woodland.

Free parking on Osgodby Bank to the south of the plantation. Plenty of broad tracks and narrow paths to choose from, with some steep gradients and access up to the Kilburn White Horse.
