From ancient woodland to newly planted trees, wildflower meadows to rugged, rocky outcrops, the National Forest offers a vibrant and varied landscape for everyone to explore. Discover reminders of the Forest’s industrial heritage. Stroll through bluebell woods and deer parks. Join a Forest bathing or bushcraft experience. Cycle off-road trails on mountain bikes or e-bikes, or walk or run the extensive network of footpaths. Whatever you choose, you’ll find lots to see and do in the Forest.
By Foot
There are over 320km of promoted trails in the National Forest to walk, run and cycle on, including the National Forest Way, a 75-mile connected trail that runs from West to East (and East to West) across the Forest.
