Morgaston Woods Yellow Route, The VyneWalking route1.6 km▾
This 1-mile walk will take you deeper into Morgaston Woods than the shorter, green route, while still forming a neat loop for you to go on and see other things afterwards. Dogs are welcome.
Morgaston Woods Green Route, The VyneWalking route1 km▾
This half-mile walk through Morgaston Woods, shorter than the longer yellow route, passes the bird hide and ever-changing colours of the trees along the way. Well-maintained woodland paths. Can get muddy when wet. Tree roots cross some paths.
Woodland Walk at The VyneWalking route2.2 km▾
Enjoy this relaxing circular stroll through the trees all year round at The Vyne. Look out for the remains of a medieval fish pond and the remnants of a storage site built for use during the Second World War. Dogs on leads are welconme.
