There are three pedestrian entrances to Blackbush Shaw: off Berry's Hill, via a public footpath off New Barn Lane, and by a public footpath entrance from the east side of the Restavon Park.
There are also three entrances to Twenty Acre Shaw: one next to the management gate on Luxted Road, one via a public footpath off Luxted Road, and another from the east side of the wood at a public footpath entrance from surrounding countryside.
There are two public footpaths running through the woods. One cuts through Blackbush Shaw from New Barn Lane to Restavon Park, in an east-west direction. The other cuts down from Single Street through the middle of Twenty Acre Shaw going east-west.
There are other permissive paths, especially in Blackbush Shaw, which can be used to enjoy more of the woods. All paths are unsurfaced and there are some steep slopes.
