this is a really nice, scenic day out.
the drive you to millington, will take you pass a trout farm, some twisty country roads and during the spreading season, air conditioning in the car is vital!
nice parking area and picnic areas as you walk through the woods
popular with people of all ages as the paths in the woods though some are narrow are all well kept.
they make charcoal here and the charcoal burners are massive, think theres 4 altogether?
its a great place for letting the kids explore nature! easter egg hunts and treasure hunts (you have to hide the goodies 1st)
it'll take about 2hours or longer to get around, without the hunt!
also excellent for dog walking BUT PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG! nothing annoys me more then people letting there dogs mess up, what is a public path! though most people do clean up after their dogs, in this wood, its always the few that won't, and dog do, will not break down, or fertilize the land!
there is millington village, nearby with a very good friendly local pub, with some great ales!
there is also millington pastures, with sheep and cattle
excellent place if you like rambling, and bike rides? as i've see plenty milling about all over the roads, when ever we have a drive up, not sure whats worse ramblers taking up the road or cyclists? and some have the road sense of a pheasant! read more
