Dogs are allowed if strictly controlled.  The paths are generally well-drained and not too rough, but there are quite a lot of steps (none on the Easy-Access Path).  Boots are advisable after wet weather. Please take away your picnic and barbecue rubbish.  There are recycling bins at the entrance to the wood.
