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.
