Things to do

There is a short easy trail in the wood land of about 800 metres it is unmarked but you can’t go wrong as it leads from the car park and back in a loop.

The trail starts from the free car park and picnic area. It winds along the path and for a section has the River Dinin below it, also offering a view of the old Tower Bridge.
