Twigmoor Woods

Reviewed By AmyJessicaWalker - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom

This is our favourite place to bring our two dogs. Plenty of off the main track routes to explore, an area with a big pond for the dogs to swim in and the car park is reasonable. If it gets full there is still plenty of room to park on the grass verges.

Badby Woods

Reviewed By 735stuarth - Banbury, United Kingdom

I am a professional, landscape photographer and have published several views of Badby Woods as greeting cards! Obviously spring is THE time to visit but this elevated woodland is fantastic all year. The views over nearby Badby Village and the surrounding countryside are breath-taking. It represents a large area with many circular walks possible. Close by are the ruins of "The Dower House", a Tudor manor (fenced off but free to view).

Black Rocks

Reviewed By Prits_traveldiary - Leicester, United Kingdom

Visited the Black rocks for a day out with children, for the first time in cromford, Derbyshire, i was mesmerised by the stunning views soon as we had got there, a great place for walks with children or on own to admire the stunning views, right outside our door step, The climb of the rocks a little scary but a lovely little adventure as a family, we went during summer months of 2020, with a little picnic, Sandwich and coffee with a view. A great place to visit with kids for some exciting outdoor fresh air.

Everdon Stubbs

Reviewed By 735stuarth - Banbury, United Kingdom

Obviously, for a wood famous for its bluebells spring is THE time! However, with ample free parking onsite and being in such a lovely situation, this natural woodland is delightful throughout the year and is great for dog-walkers and families with children alike.

Charnwood water

Reviewed By HeatherBeattie86 - Leicester, United Kingdom

We have been going here since lockdown and it is a great walk. You can meet up with friends and family and have a lovely walk round which doesn’t take long while chatting away. We go nearly everyday to see the ducks and swans as well as climbing and playing hide and seek.
