Forestry England’s Fineshade Wood is the perfect destination for a family day out in the forest. Nestled near Corby, it’s well loved by walkers, cyclists, runners and nature enthusiasts.

For the children, there are character trails featuring popular character from well-loved books, multiple play areas and a sensory garden. Discover the forest on way-marked walking trails or for a boost to your mental and physical health, try the 1.6km wellbeing trail. Nature lovers will want to visit the bird hide, watch roe deer grazing on the lawn or look out for chequered skipper butterflies. Eyes up to the skies, for red kites.

Be sure to stop off and sample the delights on offer at Grounds Café to top up those energy levels! Left the bikes at home? They do cycle hire too.

Now you can extend your stay! Gather the family and snuggle under the stars at the Fineshade Wood Campsite, welcoming caravans, tents, motorhomes or campers. Stays start from £13.60 a night.
