Cardinham Woods

Cardinham Woods, a fantastic woodland with many activities for all the family to enjoy. When we visited I was pleasantly surprised at how much we packed into the day, and how quickly the day passed through. The woodlands are a beautiful mixture of trees and shrubs, with some great clearances. This place is great for family strolls, but also plenty of cyclists, dog owners and horse riders visit the woods.

With over 250 acres of land, the woods are particularly ideal for horse riders. It is also a wildlife refuge for otters, deer and the high flying buzzards who constantly circle the treetops. The trails are well marked and lead you to amazing view points and explanations of the history of the Woods.

After a long days exploration, we visited the onsite Woods café for a drink and snack, before settling for an early evening BBQ in one of the picnic areas. BBQs are actually situated in the picnic areas, so just bring food and fuel to get started.
