Great place for to loose a few hours, not a massive place and can be covered pretty easily but plenty of litter free nature to look at. A few places to try and cross the river.

A lovely little woods with the river running through it - plenty of little paths for the kids to run about, but it's not a massive area, so take a gentle stroll ;-)

Beautiful setting for a refreshing walk. Visited in summer: ground soft underfoot in places but perfectly fine in casual shoes. Tree cover meant it was lovely and cool. Would recommend getting your bearings on Google Maps before going in, or (better still) downloading a footpath map from OpenStreetMap.

Great for dog walkers, free park in 'New Cut' (note: can be very busy, especially during the week as there is school and village hall there), the walk following the straight road and path which lead into the woods. It's a woodland walk of medium ability, due to decent down to the river and the climb back up. Few miles walk if you go around the parameter. Can be very muddy in many places during inclement weather.

Lovely little woods to have a stroll around. Nice river there too. Not too big but big enough to let kids have a run round. Nice little swing over the river too if you can find it.

Lovely walk, peaceful and quiet through the woods, following the stream down to the river. Mainly dog walkers about. Took offroad pushchair for little one. Some areas tough to navigate with it but manageable. Not a large area to walk round but good for an hour's fresh air. Plenty of parking on nearest road The New Cut". The main gate entrance is very narrow to stop people with bikes etc getting through so be aware with a pushchair/buggy. Lift over job if with other people. I was on my own

One of my absolute favourite places to walk in the Colchester area. A place for all seasons, ages and reasons. Dog walks, family stroll, summer paddle and the rope swing us always good value if you get the adults in it!
