    Beautiful woodland area for walks. Scenic views across the north downs and neighbouring farmland. Quite a steep path leading from the car-park which opens up to numerous trails.

    Thickly wooded and interspersed with Bluebell fields, Narnian sculptures and beautiful paths intertwine amongst a huge variety of trees accompanied by numerous bird songs, a place to behold.

    This place is amazing, offers great views! Took a nice long walk on one of the hottest days here in London, still didn’t feel it! It’s full of tall trees and nice shaded areas! If you have children you can do the Narnia trail! Hours of fun! And parking is onsite and free!

    Extensive and lovely woods!! Perfect for days out or just short walks. If you have children there is Narnia theme around so kids can go looking for wooden statues. The path is good and not muddy. You can go with a pushchair

    It's very nice place for hiking and bringing children and pets. The parking is free. You can sometime find a food truck in the parking. There is no rest room.

    Wonderful walk loads of space

  • 5/5 Ali P. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful place for a dog walk. Especially late spring when the bluebells are on the ground. Loads of walking paths and the wooden carvings of the lion witch and the wardrobe are really special. Quite hilly in places so not great for people with disabilities or wheelchair needs. There's often a coffee place open too for caffeine hit!

  • 5/5 Melodi P. 3 years ago on Google
    My favourite dog walking route of all time... lots of trails to choose. Its like a moderate hike because of the terrain being quite hilly. Its beautiful and peaceful.

  • 5/5 Gemma B. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great adventure for Adults and children. Lots to do and see along the way. Unique and exciting to see the lion witch and wardrobe. Very nice touch for the walk indeed.

  • 5/5 Lakshmi K. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Claire M. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful historic woodland complete with wooden sculptures of characters from the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. Particularly lovely at the moment with the bluebells in full bloom.

    Nice walk, lots to explore

  • 5/5 Christopher A. 8 months ago on Google
    This a fantastic place for hikers, dog walkers and children. The Chronicles of Narnia Trail is great for both kids and adults (who still embrace their inner child) alike. Keep one eye out for other carvings of Narnia animals too, they are very subtle. It has everything from vast woods to wonderful open spaces overlooking farmland. Make sure you keep your bearings as its very easy to get lost if you go off the beaten track. My dogs loved their walk here.

  • 4/5 Martin L. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent, I haven't been there since the rhododendrons have been grubbed out. It is a wonderful transformation just a pity the toilet block in the car park is fenced off ! 😡

  • 5/5 Nitro 9. 6 months ago on Google
    One of our favourite walks with the dog. Plenty of different walkways - woods, fields, farm tracks etc. Sadly no water ways nearby other than a tiny pond / pit. There are alot of elevation changes so avoid if you don't like hills.

  • 4/5 Alex C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great walk! Enjoyed seeing the carvings! Beautiful setting

    Always great walking in the woods......lovely this time of year with the changing colours of the leaves

  • 4/5 Jaguar 3 years ago on Google
    Cool place with wonderful views and benches to sit down. There isn't that much space at the car park which leads to waiting a longer period of time or not being able to find a place to park

  • 4/5 Ann H. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely walking in the woods. The dogs really enjoy running among the trees.
