There's a small play park and cafe here at the Top Lodge so there's an incentive for everyone to complete a walk around this fantastic place. As with lots of other woods at the moment, there are some bluebells around this wood so make sure you take your camera with you to spot them!
Whilst on my walk, along with lots of bluebells I spotted a lot of giant fungi growing on some of the trees that were in log piles around the place - this is a working wood after all so please obey any signs that tell you work is going on and don't be tempted to climb on any of the wood piles as they can be dangerous!
As it's such a large wood there is a map available for you to take around with you. It took me 15 minutes of wandering around the Top Lodge before I finally saw a small notice on a door saying maps are available from the RSPB shop where they have been hidden by a grumpy, rude old man in a plastic container underneath the counter where the staff enjoy a chat rather than greeting or helping customers so I don't think they really want anyone to buy one - I can only assume they train search and rescue teams here and are hoping people get lost...
All-in-all this is a fantastic wood with plenty to do and loads of places to explore and is well worth a day out here.
