Overview

Begin a joyous Christmas Day with a delightful stroll through the heavily scented pines of Handchurch Woods to help work off the excesses of the season. Give your spirits that uplifting feeling meandering purposefully by the edges of the forest estate on clear paths though some might be a little squelchy in places. Other paths away and out of the woods are firm and wide.
