Coming up is a Series of walks to Rockingham Forest’s lesser known places. Book at www.rockinghamforest.org.uk/events

Beautiful evening light but still sad to see all this felling in Bedford Purlieus just now. This woodland's probably the jewel of the #RockinghamForest crown - read more about it here

The River Welland forms the northern boundary of #RockinghamForest and there's a green lane allowing access across the river at Turtle Bridge - but not today!

It's harvest time in Wakerley Wood - as seen during #StormBert. "All is safely gathered in, 'ere the winter storms begin"?
Some valuable timber here, and perhaps another take on #NationalTreeWeek ?

This is #FineshadeWood, one of the largest remaining parts of #RockinghamForest. Snow didn't last very long this morning

We're planning more free guided walks in #RockinghamForest for 2025.
Where shall we go next year? Back to the same areas or somewhere new? Any ideas? Or any offers to lead walks in little-known parts of the forest especially welcome! Please get in touch www.rockinghamforest.org.uk/contacts

What a great day on Sunday! Seemed to be the first day of winter and really enjoyed the blue skies above the forest.
And then discovered this Bluesky with lots of our friends already here. Hope we can enjoy this winter and this new social space together.
