1:7,500 scale map with 5m contours
Please note: There have been recent thinning works, so can be rough underfoot. There are also some unmarked ruined fences so care must be taken. The map has had some minor updates, however dogwalkers have created a lot of indistinct tracks, not all are marked.
Out of bounds: Normal OOB rules and map markings apply. The Woodland Trust have closed some paths to allow the ground to recover after thinning works. These are clearly visible in the forest and marked on the map.
