Just a stone’s throw away from the town centre and the perfect place to socialise your dog. The paths are mainly hard soil, so is a great place for a leisurely stroll with every member of the family. The historic farmland also houses the District’s most colourful wildflower displays and is the farm where two of Henry VIII’s wives once lived!

Leechpool and Owlbeech Woods have five different paths to explore through varying habitats and includes boardwalks, bridges, and steps.

Roosthole
Roosthole is a popular spot for families and walkers. Although the car park can at times be busy, the Roosthole is a beautiful woodland walk with many different routes to take so the path never seem crowded. With a main gravel path (and a few off-road muddy paths!), this is a great walk for walkers and dogs alike.
