They are all easy walks. This walk takes you through the various animal habitats where you will see various birds, butterflies and wild flowers. Our favourite walk is The Magical Wood. It is a lovely trail for younger kids with wooden scultpures to spot along the way. The boys particularly loved the bamboo tunnel next to the picnic tables. Bear in mind when visiting that there are no facilities at Heartwood Forest. There are no toilets on site although you can normally use the public toilets in the nearby Sandridge Village Hall when it is open.

There is also nowhere to eat on-site but it is a great place to enjoy a picnic. Heartwood Tea Rooms for lovely cakes and light bites. The Wicked Lady. How about an Alpaca experience at the neighbouring Meadow Field Alpacas. Take a wander around the historic town, visiting the cathedral and the Museum and Roman ruins at Verulamium. As well as visiting the house and gardens, there are always events going on at Hatfield House.

Visit the house and gardens of Knebworth House with its challenging maze, dinosaur trail and amazing playground and giant slides. Finally got round to doing this walk this August; we followed the shortest marked walk "Magical Meander" as there was rain forecast and my husband and I were both a bit stiff from a netball session the day before!

Our friends' dog seemed to love it, she was charging around all over the place as soon as we let her off the lead and as we passed quite a few other dog walkers, she was able to get in a little playtime. The car park and entrance to it have had a lot of improvement work done; the road is narrow but the surface is decent.

Be aware if going this summer, the car park is closed for two weeks from the 14th August to finish a last bit of surfacing work! Definitely hoping to take her there again, and it will be fascinating to see how it develops.

Just to add, there is now a dog friendly tea room in Sandridge! Perfect for a cup of tea and a slice of cake after a nice walk. DetteNewby 3 years ago.
