It's great for walking or cycling. Saturday mornings there is a regular park run event. Sadly the mobile cafe no longer sites at the car park after the council refused them further permissions.

The woodland offers a network of pathways, including some extended routes, under the care of the Hawkwell Parish Council. This nature reserve once served as a brickworks, with the memorial standing at the entrance, and remnants of this industry are still visible. The picturesque circular trail guides you along with adjacent tracks and fields. Be sure to watch for the wealth of local wildlife, particularly the songbirds.
