Park and Assembly Area. We are using the University car park. Car Parking £1
Terrain. Mixed undulating woodland, good path network,
generally runnable
Please note the wood is well used by dog walkers and

lasting ones are mapped. In addition, the mountain bikers are inordinately fond
of building stone/earth ramps, most of which are too small to be mapped, and
some larger wooden structures which are not mapped as they are temporary
