Route Description:

Wood Moss Tarn Route - heading south from the Visitor Centre, the route passes Wood Moss Tarn. It then loops back northwards, through wooded hills to re-join the track, returning to the Visitor Centre. This route is great for wildlife watching, is popular with mountain bikers and includes some steep uphill sections. There is a bench located at the Wood Moss Tarn viewpoint, roughly half way around the trail (but no other rest point available for accompanying visitors).

​

​Ridding Wood Trail - crossing the road from the Visitor Centre, the trail offers a great introduction to the forest and sculptures. It passes through beautiful oak woodland as well as some unusual and ornate trees. Will you find the Gruffalo hiding in the Deep Dark Wood?​

Recovery from the forest in case of an emergency:

​

It is very rare that there are any issues of breakdown with the Tramper. If something unforeseen does happen Forestry England are currently unable to recover members of the public. Should this happen, you need to have a person with you who is able to drive their own vehicle into the forest (escorted by a staff member of Forestry England) to recover you. If this is not possible or the incident requires it, the emergency services will be called (ambulance or mountain rescue) to recover you from the forest.
