This is a lovely walk exploring the Spernall section of the emerging Heart of England Forest. The walk includes woodland trails within Morgrove Coppice, Haydon Way Wood and Spernall Park, and a loop around Coughton Court.
The Heart of England Forest project was founded by the publisher, poet and tree-planter Felix Dennis and over 2 million new trees have been planted so far. The target is 13 million new trees ! Unfortunately Coughton Court will be closed for the winter season but we will be able to admire it from afar !
Be prepared for some muddy, slippery sections, especially so if there’s been a lot of rain (pole useful). There are some gentle ascents and some road and good track walking too.
If you have any queries about this walk please contact the walk leader by using the "Get in touch about this walk" email link.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the conditions – if in doubt, ask the walk leader. Bring ample food and water for the length of the walk.
If you feel unwell, or need to slow down or stop, let the walk leader or back marker know.
Morgrove Coppice car park, off Burford Lane. It’s quite remote and the entrance is easy to miss so please allow plenty of time. If you’re heading westwards along Burford Lane it will be on your right (What3Words: ///control.gives.indicated). Minimum donation of £2 per car is requested (by cash/card/phone via post in car park) and helps support forest work. Car sharing helpful.
