The plantation is situated in the heart of the countryside, offering visitors a peaceful and serene environment to explore.

Numerous walking trails crisscross the plantation, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths wind through the enchanting forest, leading to hidden clearings and tranquil ponds. Nature enthusiasts can partake in birdwatching or simply immerse themselves in the tranquil ambiance of the woodland.
