One of my favourite dog walks and is fantastic for kids too. There's a small stream running through the length of the woods, with access to both sides of the bank via a number of (rather ramshackle) crossings. If you're brave enough then some of the rope swings are easily usable, although maybe a touch on the dangerous side. There are also a couple of open spaces towards one end that would make cracking picnic spots.
There is also a small farm shop/honesty stall just about at the entrance on one end as well, which is nice.
It is definitely not accessible if you have mobility issues though - this is a (seemingly unmanaged) woodland, so the track down and the paths once in the woods proper can get boggy/waterlogged, with lots of tree roots etc protruding. Dogs really DO...

Even our two children who do not enjoy dog walks loved these woods! They were easily entertained with a few tricky crossings over the river (if you want to walk the other side of the river). For the less brave there is a slightly steadier bridge made from (some moving!) fairly thick logs...which I just about managed to walk/crawl across! However you do not have to cross the river and still enjoy the scenic woodlands.
