About the event
From charcoal burning and iron working to pottery, foraging, and woodcraft, these woods have hosted it all. Iron Age dwellers, Roman occupiers, and medieval iron barons have each left their mark beneath the trees. Come and explore with us in our fun and gently challenging time-travel treasure hunt.
The trail is designed for all the family and takes around 1.5 - 2 hours to complete. There’s no rush — half the joy is losing yourselves in the quiet richness of the woodland. There'll be some woodland refreshments on sale at Old Jarvis' woodshed, the start/finish point.
