Well - at Salary forest you can do just that! It's is located between Milton Keynes and Towcester off the M1 & A508. £4 car Parking is all you need to spend!
Everytime we go for a long walk now my kids think that were embarking on a bear hunt, hope we don't catch one!
Of course dogs and little monsters are allowed as long as you tidy after them. It's good practise to take dog poop bags also.
Make a day of it by taking a scrummy picnic or treat yourself at the excellent Forest cafe. Just outside of the cafe is a park with a very difficult climbing apparatus - maybe better suited for children aged 6 - 14.
A number of trails lay before you and each takes you along to Salary forests magnificent Tree top trail.
A very wobbly, gentle incline takes you an astonishing 15 or so metres above the ground 😨
Perfectly safe and accessible for wheelchairs and pushchair until you get to the viewing tower at the very top.
Steps rise up to the final viewing tower and the views from it are quite simply breath-taking. You can see for miles & miles.
When we visited when a Stick man trail was on but I believe that has now finished. Check the forestry commissions website HERE for what's on when you're thinking of visiting.
Sorry to finish on a bad note but i like to be realistic. The only bad points to our visit were that some irresponsible dog owners throw used dog poop bags into the trees along the walk. It isn't a pretty decoration - you know! Also the sound of the M1 can be heard from within the forest which can spoil your peaceful walk.
