Wistman’s wood is a very special and unusual forest which looks like it should belong to a different time.

It seems quite popular as even on a cold rainy and windy day. There were a few other explorers there so I expect the carpark will fill quickly when the sun is out. …

We got there by following the farm track at Two Bridges then veering left and down, but the way downhill was quite steep. Next time we will aim to start from the same car park but to approach from the bottom of the hill
