A 410-acre Forestry England wood on Morkery Lane between Castle Bytham and South Witham, another former airfield with hardcore paths that make easy, dry walking even in the wettest weeks — and a dream with a pushchair.

The walk

Hardcore paths criss-cross the wood between the foundations of the airfield buildings, so you can make a loop of any length. Deer and squirrels are common. No facilities.

Conditions can change. Keep dogs under appropriate control, close gates, and follow local signage. This is a guide to where to go, not a navigation app.

Current conditions

A person checks visitors’ reports before they show. Reports fade after a few days — conditions change.
