Lovely area to walk around. We parked in the free car park just off South Road. We done the circular walk and enjoyed getting down to the river. There was some litter in this area, looks like folk go there to enjoy a few tinnies and leave the leftovers. It was also a shame to see graffiti regarding covid-19 plastered on benches and other parts but not everyone can be trusted not to deface such a little gem of an area. That aside really enjoyed our walk. The car park had easy access and a bin for dog waste, I would personally take human rubbish home as I did see someone put a MacD's bag in there filling the "dog" bin up đ¤Śââď¸ can be steep in areas and can imagine it gets muddy but we picked a great day for a visit. Although plenty of cars still room to comfortably walk around and not feel crowded. I would come back here as on the whole it's a lovely little walk.

Itâs the first time weâve visited, âThe Wicker manâ but it wonât be the last, itâs an impressive sculpture with beautiful views of the Durham countryside. Itâs just a short walk through fledgling woodland which has already attracted a variety of wildlife and we were accompanied by various bird-song for almost the entirety of the walk, itâs easy to forget youâre only a 15 minute walk from Durham City Centre. All of the walks are well marked but it is over grassland so not wheelchair friendly although there are one are two seats scattered throughout the walks. Small car park but it wasnât full when we were there early on a Sunday evening and there seems to be more parking along the stretch of the road into the car park. Free parking & admittance and the Wicker man sculpture makes it a must visit if youâre in the area.

A nice walk outdoors is best I can offer. I was going to say fresh air but the low frequency hum of a nearby road reminded me of the lack of freshness in the atmosphere. Thereâs nothing bad Iâd like to add about the place really, itâs just as Iâd never been and from reading the online descriptions, I was expecting a forest / wooded area. Itâs a very newly planted woodland area, indeed a good project that we need to see more of. It wonât quite be as described until approximately twenty or so years. Some interesting constructions around the place, but blah you know the usual ahh yeah remember our mining heritage kind of thing weâre all used to in the North East. Popular spot with dog walkers.

Love our walks in the woods and the maze of tracks all around the land. There's no toilets or anything, but it's free parking and there have been lots of improvements made to the car park and the trails recently (May 2022). Lots of dogs and dog walkers, all very friendly - extremely clean and well maintained too. Bins by the car park. It is easy to get lost if you don't know your way around, so take a photo of the map at the top of the hill by the car park. Try and find the bamboo tunnel, the stone snake, the hidden beach, the wicker people and the totem seat. There's quite a few things to discover!

Visited on a Saturday, still plenty of car parking spaces on hardcore, well maintained and no litter (and free). We only did the short route (took about 20 mins), but still got to see a good few of the attractions. The main walk is very well maintained, buggy and mobility scooter friendly, with some optional areas being more rutted. If we are back in the area again we would definitely visit again and do the longer route! As noted on the website there aren't any toilets on site, but as long as you're expecting it then it's not a problem

I had a lovely late September walk around Low Burnhall and down by the river. I found a lovely spot to put my chair out for lunch and followed some of the Camino route to Croxdale woods. 7 miles walked but there was so much to see it didn't seem like it. I seen some Mandarin ducks, a pure white heron or egret, a small deer, 2 yellow wagtails, 2 squirrels and some dragonflies.
