Leechpool Woods
A beautiful mix of wet woodland and heathland habitats in these well cared for woods. The ‘Woodland Walk’ (green arrow way-marks) is a lovely place to escape the heat on a summer’s day, whilst the coniferous trees on the ‘Heathland Route’ (purple way-marks) make it a pretty (and relatively mud-free) option for winter.
Extensive wooden boardwalk trail through wetland habitat (Woodland Walk)
Varied wildlife, fauna and forestry
Good play area, suitable for children of all ages
Fantastic bluebells in Spring

OPEN:
The entire Woodland Trail (green way-marks) is lightly shaded, and therefore an excellent option for a walk on a hot summer’s day. The habitat here is predominantly wetland and the paths can become extremely muddy during the wet winter months and after periods of heavy rain. However, when it's dry underfoot, the trail is generally accessible for pushchairs (although not a smooth ride), provided you are able to lift it over the odd step, root or fallen tree en route.
The Heathland route (purple way-marks) is generally mud-free, even in winter and accessible with a pushchair (although some steps are present). There is limited shade on this route.
Accessing the Woodland Trail (parking: RH13 6SG)
From the Harwood Road car park, head into the woods and turn immediately right, following the green arrow way-mark.
Accessing the Heathland Trail (parking: RH13 6PQ)
Cross the playground and head into the woods, turning left. Then follow the purple arrows.
