Accessible 24/7, 365 days a year. Park on the grass at the nearby church making sure you aren't obstructing what are private laneways in the area.

Finish your tour at Hilltop Garden Centre which has a great café serving delicious coffee, light lunches and sweet treats. Thankfully for Jeb and I, they have a café garden to the rear where you can dine and unwind with your furry friend.

Bumble-Bee

In spring this wood comes alive with colour, with Bluebells carpeting the woodland floor before shifting to bright yellow as Yellow Archangel takes hold. In the early spring evenings, the musky scent of Moschatel flowers fills the air as the dew forms. In the Alder glades and Hazel coppice, Climbing Corydalis tendrils can be seen reaching for the trees and ferns, with their delicate creamy-white flowers on full show in the early summer.

Throughout the woodland different patches of trees can be found, ranging from Oak, Sweet Chestnut coppice, to Scots and Corsican pine plantation, where White Admiral butterflies can be seen flitting through the trees in late Summer. Damaged in the great storm of 1987, the woodland has bounced back and is now flourishing.

From April to mid-May, listen carefully for the beautiful serenading song of Nightingale, among the calls of other woodland birds.
