Join us for a gentle walk around the woodlands and lake, including a stop at the bird hide, to look for woodland birds and waterfowl, and listen to a rousing dusk chorus!

If you have your own binoculars, please feel to bring them along; a limited number of binoculars will also be available to borrow.

Our walk will be around 5km across some surfaced trails and some unsurfaced grassy / muddy paths - wheelchairs with off-road wheels would be ok however if you have any queries please feel free to contact us.

Children are welcome - under 16s must be accompanied and supervised by a designated adult at all times, with a maximum of two children per booked adult. If you are planning on bringing children please let us know how many will be joining you on the relevant question on the booking form so that we have an accurate idea of numbers for the walk.

Organized by

National Forest Company

The National Forest is one of the boldest environmentally-led regeneration initiatives in the country – transforming a post-industrial landscape by creating a forest across 200 square miles of the Midlands, linking the ancient remnant forests of Charnwood and Needwood.

Since the early 1990s, millions of trees have been planted in an area that was previously one of the least wooded parts of the country. Today, with the support of partners and communities, the National Forest is continuing to plant trees, care for woodlands, create and manage habitats, and helping to grow a greener, healthier and more sustainable future together.
