Monks Wood National Nature Reserve

Beautiful place to walk around and so peaceful

A very enjoyable walk, muddy in places so waterproof footwear is a must, plus a number of fallen trees across the path after the recent storm, but all easy to navigate around, and added to the fun. Overall highly recommended

Lovely woodland for a walk. Very quiet, only passed a couple of other groups. We took our dogs and they enjoyed it. Lots of level pathways and views into the woodland. Plenty of wildlife. A few different areas around the woodland to park.
There's two signposted walks - bluebell path and butterfly path. We walked the butterfly path today and it's name is fitting!
Do check your dogs after visiting though, as we have found quite a few ticks in their fur after visiting (which is to be expected!)

A great place to walk and listen to all the wildlife. Plenty of birds and deer around. Lots of walking trails with signage pointing the way to go. There's a gravel parking lot with enough space for about 6 cars.

Very nice place to go for a walk and picnic. Remember to take your swimwear so that you can have a dip in the stream

Enjoyed a short walk around here with camera in hand. Within minutes of being there I spotted some kind of muntjac/deer walking across the path in front of me. Very peaceful place.

Wonderful forest with lovely trails. Lots of fungi to spot!

Just love this place, you can walk for miles... Muddy in some parts.... Beautiful.... Don't be afraid to get a little lost
