    Hiking

    Interesting info as to why it is called The Kings Wood found with a quick Google search:
    "When William of Normandy ordered an inventory of his English domains in around 1086 (now known as the ‘Domesday Book’) it noted that the ‘king holds Trentham’.
    The King’s estate is said to include land big enough for three and a half ploughs, managed by a Reeve who had 6 people in his service. Trentham also included an area of 3 ploughs and woodland"

    Hiking

    Bordering Trentham Gardens, this section of Trentham Park is free to access without an admission charge. The Two Saints Way runs along the ridgeline.
    Trentham is home to a wild, Black Fallow Deer that were introduced hundreds of years ago, for the royal hunt, in King’s Wood!
