Cutest little walk via an ancient well with a stream that is crystal clear! There’s a bench, take a picnic and enjoy this little oasis!

All Saints Church, Newland (Cathedral of the Forest)

All Saints Church Newland, traditionally and affectionately known as The Cathedral of the Forest, dates back to the early 1200s. The village of Newland did not exist before the clearing was made in the Forest and the church built.
