The Lumb Brook Valley is a beautiful forested area. It has a size of 8.88 ha (21.94 acres). Here you can find a lot of wildflowers, especially in spring. Beautiful, easy-to-walk paths lead through the forest area. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/woods/lumb-brook-valley/

The Thorn Inn is a Greene King pub. Reasonable drinks and food served 1200 - 2100 every day. Lots of room indoors and outside. A good place to start a walk along the Lumb Valley.

Beautiful in all seasons. Small woodland which is separated by a road but linked by a bridge which you can walk under if you have your wellies. Fantastic off the lead, lots of things for the kids to get stuck into, rope swings etc, but for our four legged family members just a brilliant place for them to roam around.
