Bolderwood
Bolderwood has
all the elements of a pleasant family day out in the countryside.
Woodlands surround the area; there are 3 marked trails,
the Deer Watch Trail, the Radnor Trail and the Jubilee
Trail. You can also walk to 2 rivers, Highland Water to
the east and Bratley Water to the west.
Cycling is popular
with many
miles of well
defined tracks or quiet country roads, the Forestry
Commission also have a Bolderwood
Cycle Trail (7.5 miles).
Picnic tables are situated under the large Douglas fir trees or you can bring
a rug and have a picnic on the green.
The Bolderwood Forestry Commission Information Centre is
sited under the trees and is open every weekend from Easter
to the end of October with a ranger ready to answer any questions. |

After its
mother was killed on the road a forest ranger hand
reared a young fallow deer, as the deer got older he
regularly left food out for him and soon the deer was
bringing his pals along with him. This happened in
the 1960s and the tradition continues today, feeding
taking place every day in the summer months between
1.30pm - 2.30pm. |
