The woodland is open to the public and offers several walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and birdwatchers. The peacefulness and seclusion of Bottom Covert make it an excellent place for relaxation and contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
