Hiking Oak in Salcey Forest

Once a medieval hunting forest, Salcey Forest is home to some majestic veteran oaks, some over 600 years old.

There are three waymarked walking trails, a cafe and toilet facilities, making this an ideal day out for the family. Crucially, dogs are welcome too. There's also a play area for the little ones and a treetop walkway for those of a stern constitution.

NOTE:
The treetop walkway has not been available since May 2018, when the engineers who ensure the safety of this feature deemed it unsafe. Forestry England remain hopeful that they can secure funding to get part of this popular attraction reinstated.
There's still hundreds of acres to explore and your visit to the forest will not be impacted by your inability to use the treetop walk.

There's a bicycle hire/repair shop next to the cafe, opening in Spring 2022.
