Hay Wood

Highlight • Forest

Also very close to Hay Wood, just across the M50 motorway (bridge provided) are the Dymock Woods. These are quite extensive with plenty of tracks suitable for CX/Gravel and eBikes, though right now (early Feb 2020) the bridleways and smaller tracks are exceedingly muddy in places, so the wider, all-weather tracks might be your preferred option. Normally obscured by the trees and undergrowth, a visit in the autumn and winter months reveals just how hilly these woods are. Be aware that the Daffodil Way (marked) through part of the eastern part of the woods is for walkers only; cyclists and horseriders are asked to keep off this path to avoid damaging the iconic daffodil displays.
