Collyweston and Easton Hornstocks

 

Whilst walking around this ancient woodland it was like no one else had been there for hundreds of years as it was so peaceful and tranquil. The footpaths are ever so slightly overgrown as dog walking is not allowed here so not many people use it on a regular basis which helps add to its mystique.

A permit is required if you want to visit this National Nature Reserve (NNR) and you can obtain one by contacting Natural England.

There was a little bit of litter dotted around the place, but oddly enough this kind of added to the history of the place as it wasn't modern litter, but glass bottles from the 80's and not the plastic ones that are commonplace these days.

Parking is quite difficult, but there are some lay-bys on the nearby roads that you can park up in whilst visiting this ancient woods.

Definitely worth a visit - just don't forget your permit!
