Ancient oak and mixed-species arboretum with long rides, plantations and seasonal highlights: spring bluebell carpets, lush summer canopies, and vivid autumn colour. Trails are largely flat and family-friendly; car park and visitor centre on site (check Forestry England for fees). Best at sunrise or misty mornings for shafts of light, and late afternoon for warm tones. Weekdays are quieter; bring waterproofs in unsettled weather.
