walks & cycles
There are an infinite number of walks in the forest! A footpath runs past our back gate. The local roads are quiet and easy to walk, and the wide open Forest is just a few minutes stroll away along a quiet country lane.
We have left a few published walking guides and an OS map inside your property for you to use.
The map below will help to guide you to some of the very local attractions within easy walking distance.
• Three Lions (via footpath): Follow the green path (can get a little overgrown! or you can walk via the road – still very pleasant)
• Royal Oak (via footpath): Follow the blue then purple path.
• Royal Oak (via roads): Follow the yellow then purple path.
• Open forest: Follow the yellow path for the most direct route. Note, there is a steep section at the end.
• The Foresters Pub: Follow the red path. Alternative route along pink road then track.
• The Potting Shed & Hyde Farm Shop: Follow the yellow then purple then orange path.
• For Hockey’s Farm Shop or The Alice Lisle, follow the directions to The Royal Oak and keep going!
• The green arrow shows a great free car park from which to explore a beautiful part of the forest on foot or bike.
