  The quickest way to get around the forest is to hire a bicycle or bring your own

There are paths throughout the forest for walkers and cyclists

This small clearing in the forest has a pond and picnic area

Walking in the forest is a pleasure,
as well as pine trees there are oak and birch trees too.

Some of the things to see in the forest, fungi, blackberries, acorns and butterflies.

Walking through the forest I was surprised to find this large pond....

....complete with water lilies

Back near the visitor centre another walk beckons....maybe another day.
