No other forest on earth evokes the atmosphere of a medieval hunting forest so completely. The ancient trees of the forest are like magnificent living sculptures, peaceful giants worn and fragile from centuries of seasons and use. Some of our extraordinary ancient trees are 1,200 years old! Just imagine what these trees have lived through and the stories they could tell. Whether you want somewhere for the children to run off energy, somewhere you can run to keep fit, or somewhere to walk where you can quietly reflect, you will find your own special place somewhere in Hatfield Forest
- Explore the hidden depths of the woods.
- See the conservation team at work in the forest.
- Relax in beautiful surroundings.
Full programme of family events. Tracker Packs and trail guides, Batricar and all-terrain pushchair available to help you explore the site. Dogs on leads near livestock and lake (please note; lakeside dog-free area)
