King's Wood

Highlight • Forest

A nice little walk in boots or trainers. Keep to the paths signposted although a slight detour around the cow field - cows and calves - I felt was wise with dogs in tow. Woods are old and interesting. Don’t forget to visit Houghton House at the start or finish of the walk.
