Leigham Wood
Access for Leigham is through a one-metre-wide gate on Leigham Manor Drive onto a hard track, which then continues in a loop through the woodland. This path can be muddy when wet and during high use. All tracks and paths in the younger woodland are a natural, grassy surface with some slopes, and these can also get wet and slippery during wet weather.
Hollycroft Wood
There are several ways to access Hollycroft. These include via a squeeze gap off the parking area near Hollycroft Road, from a footpath at the bottom of Hollycroft Road, another via a squeeze gap off the end of Brynmoor Park, a third off Eastfield Crescent and a fourth from Pearn Gardens.
The site is steep, having once been used as a tipping site for topsoil. There is now a large level terrace in the middle of the slopes. There is a good network of paths, some steep, and a number with flights of steps. The path surfaces are natural and grassy and can become slippery when wet.
The path that follows along the stream at the bottom of the slope has a number of wet flushes along its length, caused by water runoff from the site.
Greenacres Wood
Access to this wood is via Cornwood Road in Plympton, through a field gate onto a wide natural surface track that runs through the wood. It can be muddy and slippery in wet weather. Paths run off this track into other woodland.
