This ancient woodland is a haven for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. The woods are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with many rare and endangered species calling this habitat home. The trees, some of which are over 1,000 years old, provide a stunning backdrop for walkers and hikers to explore the many trails that crisscross the woodland. The woods are also steeped in history, with evidence of ancient settlements and Iron Age hill forts waiting to be discovered. Visitors can explore the remains of a 12th-century motte-and-bailey castle, or uncover the secrets of the woodland's past at the on-site museum.
