Needwood Circular walk (9 mile circuit)

Walk Information

The walk
Needwood has a strong rural and historic character, with ancient woodland, old parklands, rich farmland and estate forestry blended together. Small hamlets and villages are almost hidden in the landscape.

On the walk you will visit three sites which the Duchy of Lancaster has opened up to the public through the National Forest Tender Scheme, and pass another, privately owned wood planted with grant aid from The National Forest Company.

Parking
At Jacksons Bank near Newchurch (SK140232).

Buses
