If you have a little bit more time, then this second walk is a slightly longer version of the first route.

It still visits the sculpture trail, but there is just some extra walking to enjoy in this dramatic and expansive area of woodland.

Walker review

Very easy enjoyable walk. Lots of different paths once you're there. So it is not necessarily an half an hour walk. You can easily lengthen or shorten the walk.

Walker review

We did a longer walk (about 3m/1h30m) by going off piste and following the other paths on the app, before circling back around and rejoining the path. Walk itself was easy a pie and after we finished, we popped in at the Farmer’s Boy in Brickendon for a post-walk pint.

Walker review

Loved it. We were very sad when it ended!

Walker review

Very gentle walk. Paths around the sculpture woods are super solid and flat, fine for buggies and wheelchairs.
