Love going for walks in Hockley Woods. Love that the parking is free on the weekend, thank you. I'm going to do some cross country running there soon as it is ideal with the hills, and muddy paths when we have wet weather. There's a playground there for the kiddies too. Lovely place for walking your dog, bike rides, horse riding, running, or just good old walking.

Great for a long or short walk, with or without dogs. Plenty of different paths to take. Just be aware from the car park they go down hill. So walking back is up hill. Parkrun on Saturday's. Large kids playground by carpark.
