great little spot for a photo and a break

The rise between the Northern parts of Thrunton & the 'main' woods no longer exists (June '25). Extensive storm damage & logging activities mean it's unrideable in either direction.

Probably still walkable, but not exactly picturesque.

Heather-Covered Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

Enjoyable section, you need to drive with some effort through these sections in order of getting anywhere, nit more physical than other sections, then again, I wanted to get through this section quickly due to being a distance away from main tracks at nightfall, solo riding on rough land

Viewpoint Facing North

Highlight • Viewpoint

Areas around this section still have trees blown down on the ground, access on the trails is restricted. I tried to get through but the trees were getting to often t climb and push through. Hopefully access will be back in the near future

Thrunton Woods Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Thrunton Wood was planted over two sandstone hills. This means that there are great views from the higher areas of the forest. It's managed by Forestry England.
