Jointly owned by the Woodland Trust and the National Trust in the first venture of its kind between the two organisations, Fingle Woods is undergoing extensive restoration to repair the areas damaged by maturing conifer. Public access has already been improved with 45km of new footpaths which has opened up the area to provide a fantastic woodland landscape to explore.

Some paths are currently closed, but make the most of it. I got diverted down a path I'd never been down before
