Harlestone Firs

Highlight • Forest

Great for a walk with the dog, with friends or just on your tod. There are miles of criss-crossing paths to explore with access to the golf course on the far side (away from main entrance).

There is roadside parking in front of the main entrance, though this can get full quickly on a nice day or at the weekend. An ice cream van parks here most busy days, selling the local Gallone's ice cream, along with all the classics.

You can also visit the garden centre 328 feet (100 m) down from the forest entrance, where there is a cafe, shops and toilets.
