Seven of the best lush woodland walks

Transform your springtime stomps by taking the path less travelled and choosing a new route from the 173,000 acres of UK woodland, which are, in fact, vestiges of temperate rainforest. As well as being hotspots for thriving biodiversity, they are enchanting places to visit where you’ll stumble across secret gorges and spot rare birdlife. Here are the ones worth pulling on your wellies for — with lovely places to put your feet up afterwards.

It’s part advertising, but still some good looking walks.
