Townsend Wood
Townsend Wood is a 21 acre private woodland and is part of the Found Outdoors rewilding and outdoor education project. The beautiful mature trees are a serene backdrop to the low impact events that are held here.
Found Outdoors CIC works with a number of local organisations, charities and individuals to improve biodiversity and animal habitats across the entire site.
Alongside the nature recovery work, educational, wellbeing and arts focused events are hosted in woodland spaces and the open sided timber barn.
Permissive Access for Local Residents
We are pleased to offer a permissive access path (marked in purple below) between Victoria Park and the Pavilion field for local residents to access the village from Victoria Park, and for children to get to and from Holy Trinity Primary School.
- - please stay on the path

Please note, Townsend Wood is a working woodland and we do have to close paths from time to time for forestry or events.
