No Access to the Forest For some reason Aston Hill Coppice, an area of Forestry England access land, has been closed. This is the entrance to the parking area. Other access points are similarly shut. No idea why. In the background is a small historical monument to do with Aston Martin cars which owe the name to events here. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1262861">SP8910 : The Origin of the Aston Martin Car</a>

One Way Road, Wendover Woods Vehicle access to the parking and visitor area in Wendover Woods is down quite a long forest drive on a single track road. It is a pleasant wooded drive with viewpoints along the way, but it's a private road with a barrier at the end and it will cost you £2 minimum to get out again, depending how long you stay.

Discover Boddington Hill Not all that obvious now it is in the middle of woodland, but there is a large Iron Age hill fort up here in what would have been a very commanding position. Once you know what you are looking at, some of the remaining earthworks are there to find in amongst the trees. This is at the north end of the fort, with a visitor board telling you a bit about it.

Start of the Fitness Trail Following the outline of the old hill fort on Boddington Hill, the Fitness Trail is a pleasant woodland path with unobtrusive wooden exercise features at intervals should you feel so inclined.
