Wyre Forest

Highlight • Trail

Gentle woodland trails, a little something somewhat more invigorating for the more discerning palate if you look hard enough, a decent cup of coffee and a sandwich at the cafe end and all the pretty forest scenery you can possibly take in. What more do you need?

Wyre Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Wyre Forest is a National Nature Reserve and a large area of ancient oak woodland. Packed with trails and wildlife, there's plenty to explore here throughout the year. A disused railway runs through the forest, now part of National Cycle Route 45 as well as the long-distance hiking route, the Geopark Way.

With parking, toilets, a cafe, a play area and lots more, you could easily spend an entire day here.
