World War I Reconstructed Trench in Sherwood Pines

Highlight • Structure

Good stop and short walk through a WW1 trench. Very thoughtful narrative 8,000,000 service men died. Very interesting and in the middle of forest runs.

Viking Trail, Sherwood Pines

Highlight • Trail

Also known as the Viking Trail, this is a fairly family-friendly trail that skirts around the edge of the forest. It's not overly technical but you do need decent grip …
