Woodland Wanders
Our maintenance boys have been hard at work here at Rockingham Forest Park creating woodland walks through our forests. With all of the beautiful landscape surrounding us, we wanted to share a little more of it with you.
The boys have been creating a walk through the woods called ‘Holm Lake Walk’ this will take you to Holm Lake and if you continue past the lake, it will also take you to Oak Lake, Oak Lake Store and Reception. We believe this walk is scenic and you really get an opportunity to enjoy the trees in all their glory.
This walk takes you away from the road and really does allow you to be at home with nature.
Walking
Taking a walk in the woods is the easiest way to enjoy the outdoors and get closer to nature. From Woodland glades to unexplored pathways, where will your visit to the woods take you?
The new Holm Lake Bridge, is a great point to stop and take in the beautiful greenery that is a big part of our park.
We have been creating these walks with sustainability in mind. The markers and woodchip along the paths are created from our fallen trees in the woodlands.
Why are sustainable forests important?
Sustainably-managed forests meet the needs of wildlife whilst supporting livelihoods and providing many other flood risk mitigation. Forests are so important for so many reasons that they should not be overexploited or poorly managed to the detriment of any of these finely-balanced interests.
Tables have been created on the woodland trail from old cable reels as tables and chairs as sleepers.
As we continue to grow, we encourage and welcome feedback during and after your visits. Where possible we have put this valuable information into practice. A woodland walk to reception taking in the woods has been highly requested and we hope you like what our wonderful maintenance team have created.
