The trails in Comer Woods are open every day so you can get outdoors and experience the woodland at your own pace. The Explorer Trail is a multi-surface path open for walking, cycling and running. The all-year paths are also accessible for wheelchair users to get closer to nature. With parking nearby it’s the perfect place for all the family to explore.
The route offers a 3.5km safe off-road path through Dudmaston's stunning woodland. The circular trail has been designed with materials that will mean it can be enjoyed all year round, by a wide variety of users.
In partnership with Sport England, the National Lottery and The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, Dudmaston is part of a national project to provide multi-use trails, giving you the opportunity to explore more of the estate than ever before.
The trail will take you through ancient woodland, productive conifer plantations and heath meadow. Look out for woodland birds including wood pigeons and blue tits that like the shelter of the trees.
The Explorer Trail is multi-use, intended for walkers, runners, cyclists and adapted wheelchair users. The route is aimed at people who aren’t regularly taking part in activity and is suitable for families and less-experienced cyclists.
Horse riders also share the woods, so please look out for one another and take note of which paths are suitable for your activity. Towards the end of the Explorer Trail, the route splits into two paths, one for walkers and one for cyclists. Both paths meet back in the car park.
Comer Woods is somewhere for families to be active together in a safe, traffic-free environment.
Stop off halfway along the trail at the Scout Camp. It’s a great place to pause for some outdoor games. A little further along the route, there's a great spot for den building.
Challenge your family to build the best woodland shelter before continuing on your way. Follow the tree stump stepping stone path as you head out for more adventures.
