    A favourite place for a dog walk. Beautiful to get (semi) lost in the woods. So many different trails to follow and walks that extend beyond.

    Such a lovely forest at the edge of Northampton. A breath of fresh air. Plenty of paths to go on and walk. It looks like it's very popular for dog walking. It gets very busy during the weekend, but it's nice and quiet during the week. You can also buy some wood here. Some blackberry bushes along side the paths which are a nice treat for the kids and myself during a walk. Parking is across the street from the entrance, it's free, but it gets full really quickly.

    Beautiful spot for nice walk, accessible for disabled and families with prams. Not much of an entertainment for kids. Lots of bikers and motorbikes unfortunately too. Just go and enjoy the beauty of nature.Ice cream van on car park at the front of the entrance.

    This is a great place to go for a walk, and probably a run too if you like running. It's a dog friendly place too, and dogs definitely like running. Nature is good for you, so visit and have a walk, just make sure you have appropriate clothes for the weather. I always carry a bottle of water, flapjacks or similar, and a camera.

    Easy to park opposite the entrance but I'd say on busy days it could be difficult. I visited six years ago and to be honest it looks better managed now, nice walks for absolutely everyone with great views of the forest. There is a place in the middle of the forest that you hear nothing but trees moving and birds singing. No places to sit as such but we found a log used to reach a rope swing that we used for a picnic instead. Although we did have a cheeky swing as well. Totally litter free which is amazing in this day and age. Overall you gotta go and visit to have your own experiences, we are glad we did.

    Pretty place for an afternoon walk and for some fresh air, with the added benefit of popping into Dobbies for use of the cafe, toilet and some household shopping. It does get busy, and have mainly seen families in groups. Although there is a lovely little café as you enter the park, and I highly recommend to grab a hot chocolate with all the trimmings!
