Walking
If you don’t know the Forest, we recommend that you take a map or follow one of our mapped routes. There are ten walks of 2-3 miles to choose from and, for the more adventurous hikers, there is a 14 mile circular route which visits the iconic Scots Pine clumps across the Forest.
The walks leaflets and Forest map are available from the Forest Centre or can be downloaded HERE.
Health Walks and walking groups – Health walks take place every Wednesday at 10am. Further details are here.
There are several local walking groups which use the Forest regularly. Contact the Ramblers for information.
