A trail for all seasons, offering seasonal surprises all along the way.  Take time to enjoy a lovely walk along this forest trail discovering ferns, fungi, rushes and a wealth of wildlife and birds.  A great walk for the family to enjoy.  There will be refreshments available in the Village Hall afterwards.  The local History Group will be on hand to share some local stories.
