About Chicken's Wood
Walkers get the most from it. The terrain's manageable rather than punishing, and there's something satisfying about picking your own route through the trees instead of following a heavily worn trail. Spring's when it comes alive - bluebells carpet the forest floor - but autumn brings its own appeal with decent colour and the crunch underfoot. An hour or two is enough to feel like you've had a proper woodland wander without overdoing it.
There's no entrance fee that we could establish, which makes it an easy addition to a park holiday at Valley View Camping & Glamping just down the road. The campsite itself sits at 5.0 stars, so you're looking at decent facilities if you're basing yourself there. Chicken's Wood works best as a morning outing before heading back for lunch rather than an all-day mission. Wear decent boots - the forest floor gets boggy after rain, and you'll thank yourself for the grip. It's the kind of place that rewards a bit of curiosity but doesn't demand much in return.
