Waymarked Trails

Three trails wind their way through Warndon Woodlands Local Nature Reserve. 

The Badger Trail (about 2.5km) follows surfaced paths for the entire length of New Plantation, and returns by way of leafy footpaths and pavements winding through the nearby housing estate. You can then complete your walk with a circuit of Tolladine Wood.

Except for Tolladine Wood, this route is wheelchair accessible (with some slopes), but please note there is no dropped kerb when crossing Saltwood Avenue.

The Butterfly Trail (about 1.15km) is a short stroll around Tolladine Wood and surrounding footpaths.
