An ancient area of woodland with a mixture of native tree species and a wide range of animals, insects and birds. The area is owned by Tarmac and the Ministry of Defence, some areas are occasionally closed for military exercises so always follow signs.

The woods are part of a military firing range - no entry when red flags or beacons on display, but great for mtb and gravel riding.
