About the Sensory Trail

The trail has been created to enable visitors to ​explore the nature reserve and its wildlife in a ​‘less conventional’ way.

There are eight carved oak sculptures waiting to ​be discovered, celebrating the decaying wood ​habitat that helps make this ancient woodland ​so important for wildlife.

Get hands-on and explore the wonderful ​textures carved in the wood by artist Nick ​Garnett. Each sculpture is accompanied by a ​small sign with a QR code. Use this to discover ​each species, its name and fascinating details ​about it.

Use the benches along the route to relax, ​breathe in and soak up the sounds and smells of ​the wildlife in the ancient woodland.
