Hand-crafted gates

It's so nice to have gates that tell a story and our gates have been made by dedicated local volunteers who carefully use traditional methods to split, cut and join the wood.

The wood is a by-product of the work that the rangers and volunteers carry out during the winter months in our woodlands. The timber is then selected, processed and gates are made to measure for our sites.

Some of the gates have been around for decades and are usually made from ash which has a beautiful grain once it’s been worked. How many will you open in one visit?
