Beautiful part of the world, plenty of opportunities to explore, even with busy traffic, the ponies are an ever present bonus.

In this time of lockdown, Hemsted Forest is just the ideal place for taking your exercise and walking your dog at the same time. The paths are well marked and easily negotiated. And the forest is so big that it is very easy to maintain social distancing. Peaceful and not claustrophobic, it's just the place and for observing nature and filling your lungs with clean air.

This is a little-known spot and a great place for walking but, unfortunately, there is not a large space for parking (some may call that a blessing). The paths are well founded and signed but get a little boggy in wet weather. You can just lose yourself in nature and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Hands down, one of our favourite places to visit. So much to do, the parking is still cheaper than you would pay for entrance for a family at other venues with less beauty and less to do. We have the young children and have been regular visitors to moors valley for years. In April 2019it cost us £11 to park the car for over four hours. But included in that price was so much. And it gets improved throughout every year. Our youngest daughter loved the Gruffalo carved characters and the Zog trail. All three kids, as usual, were in their element having fun walking through the forest play trail, playing on all the one of a kind play structures skillfully made out of wood. The forest itself is beautiful and such an amazing setting. With energy to spare, the kids also love the excellent play parks, suitable for all ages and we all loved the mini steam train, taking us through tunnels, over bridges and along the surprisingly long track. Aa return visitors here's our top tips: 1.take your own lunch. There's plenty of picnic tables around the grounds. Avoid the green field near the play park as it can get busy and there are more scenic picnic tables elsewhere dotted around the site. 2.Arrive early, especially on Bank Holidays and school holidays. The car park can get full surprisingly quickly... We (and hundreds of other cars) have been turned away at the gates as early as 11am on some days, simply because the car park is at capacity. 3.there are no bins in the grounds, you have to bring your rubbish away with you, so if bringing your lunch, a small backpack should be fine to stuff your rubbish in when you're done. 4.dogs are allowed on leads but we don't take our lab to be honest because it feels like a bit of a tease walking around and not being able to let him off. 5.the train is excellent and worth every penny. It is extra and not free as part of the parking cost. Tickets can be bought on card and it's not cash-only like it used to be. 6.if you have a toddler, consider taking a buggy that's good off road. Sounds obvious, but the play trail through the forest is a long way for a little pair of legs.

We have been exploring this stunning forest, it so to enter into the forest, you just pull up in designated parking places, and off you go, take a satnav location on your phone, and try to get lost you will see all kinds of animals and natural beauty everywhere you look. It has a good phone signal, so you can follow your directions back to starting point. And of you go again to different starting point. The small hamlets that you will see, will make you very jealous of the lucky people who live there, I'm not so sure it's as good in the hardiest of winters?. Have a look at the winnie the pooh shop, I think you can book a table for lunch, if you book ahead online. The forest has a feeling of serenity, that gives you a lift that lasts for the rest of your day. This place is a must, you should at least see it once in your lifetime.
