Dundock Wood's Nature Trail â Rotten Wooden Walkway

A wooden path spans a seriously swampy stretch in the thick Dundock Wood. The wooden steps are displaying signs of deterioration, and a blanket of withered leaves makes it a risky traverse.

Wandering Through Dundock Wood

A solitary individual strolls along a pathway in Dundock Wood, passing beneath the shade of a sizable oak tree. A wooden bench stands nearby, providing a spot for repose. The forest floor is covered with fallen leaves.

Our one disappointment was the footpath on the far side was closed off, on a day like this it would have been a fine walk

A Secluded Bench in Dundock Wood

A clearing in Dundock Wood, where a covered wooden bench, overlooks a gentle incline. It's as if the world itself holds its breath in reverence, just for this bench.
