Directions
1. Leave the main car park and
enter Webbs Wood by the Forest Enterprise
sign and walk along the gravel track.
2. At the top of the incline
turn right where the footpaths cross.
Continue along the path as it
takes you into the wood.
Keep on this bearing and be aware
that after about 50 yards it appears
that the path bears left because
of the long avenue of trees. Don't
take this path but continue straight
ahead and soon footpath gently descends
as you walk
3. Continue straight ahead at
the bridle way crossroad keeping
the wire fence on your left
4. Cross over the wooden footbridge
at the bottom of the hill and after
a few paces turn left along the
footpath
Continue along the path following
the contour of the stream on you
left.
5. As you meet a wide muddy track
turn left and over a metal bridge
(covered in mud)
6. At the gravel path continue
straight ahead (don't turn left)
and ahead into the wood again.
The path at the start of the
section may be hard to see and muddy
but once in the wood a bit further
amongst the pine trees it improves.
The path may be unclear at times
but continue straight ahead until
you meet a wooden bridge on your
left side.
7. Cross the wooden bridge and
continue ahead.
8. Turn right when you meet the
next gravel path and straight ahead
as it that takes you back into the
wood
Continue forward for about 10
mins along the bridle way
9. Turn left at the end of the
bridle way just before it leaves
the wood
The path here may not immediately
be visible but if you continue forward
keeping close to the fence on your
right and the path will soon become
clear.
10. The path runs out in the
north east corner of the wood just
as you meet a light duty wire fence
marking the boundaries of Webbs
Wood and Woodland Farm. Don't
go through the wire fence but instead
turn left and continue walking forward
as close to the wire fence line
on your right as possible
Once again the path at the start
of this section is unclear and you
will probably see fallen branches
and trees on your route ahead so
make your way head with the fence
to your right and after the initial
stages the path does get better
so don't give up
11. After a while you will see
a wooden gate leading from the field
into the wood. Continue ahead
but you will need to move out further
from the edge but still keeping
parallel to the fence and field.
The path does bear off to the left
but don't take it. Continue straight
ahead and as you look right you
will be able to see the fields through
the trees and you will soon pick
up the path again.
12. Continue making your way
through the wood until you eventually
meet a wider path across your route
and you can no longer continue ahead.
Looking right you will notice a
small gate leading into to a private
wood, but turn left and walk forward
along the straight path ahead.
13. At the gravel track turn
right and continue ahead and the
path will lead you back to the car
park.
