Description

A popular place for walks with broadleaf woodland and ancient monuments from the Bronze Age.

The area is dominated by deciduous trees and you will find ancient farmland, a cairn, a stone circle and rock carvings.

The forest covers low-lying hills that have largely been common land, from the shoreline and up to about 25 metres above sea level.

Ivy and perfoliate honeysuckle are common and climb high up into the trees in some places.

The rules for the nature reserve are shown in the link below, but, for example, dogs must be kept on a lead other than when hunting, and you are not allowed to drive a vehicle/ride a horse/ride a bike, pitch a tent/park a caravan/camper van or light a fire.
