A calm and peaceful place, apart from kids running around having fun LOL. Pond dipping etc.. Just a small woodland and ponds in the middle of forest hill/sydenham but so lovely. Open 1 day a month. A shame they don't open more but the place gets vandalised otherwise. Thank you to the friends of dacres wood.

What a pleasant oasis in between Sydenham and forest hill. Check their website for open days which are few and far between to preserve this spot.

Maravilhoso espaço verde, parece uma pequena floresta onde tem as atividades da escola primaria, fomos para o open day da escola , realmente lá dentro parece que você está em outro lugar , as crianças e famílias se divertiram bastante.

Absolutely amazing oasis in the middle of Sydenham/Forest Hill. Visited here for a birthday party and was completely blown away. Emma (I think) and Holly were brilliant guides/hosts and really made the party even more brilliant.
