This trail is STEEP. It's well-maintained and lots of fun with a beautiful waterfall at the top but don't underestimate it. You need to use the ropes provided to get up and down. - Claire

We enjoyed our visit to the forest, the experience of walking under the trees and listening to the birds was absolutely wonderful. We did the Woodcutters route which was quite challenging in parts. I would like to mention that parts of the steeper parts were quite sandy and difficult to walk through. Some logs across the paths would stop the sand slipping down the slopes. At the crossing of the river it was quite dangerous as the rocks were slippery , the bigger rocks difficult to climb onto and a small insecure piece of wood misplaced. For older and the younger guests thus part was scary!! However we have recommended the forest walks to other people and we will definitely return to do other walks through the green door. - Millicent

Thank you for the most fantastic day out! We so appreciated the comprehensive briefing regarding the trails on offer prior to our departure through the door which helped us choose our route. Our 'group' of 2 adults, an energetic 4 year old and an inquisitive 9 year old absolutely loved looking for fairies and pixies in amongst the quirky 'decorations', quotes and perfectly placed benches along the way, and having the stream gurgling along was a brilliant accompaniment to the children's excited chatter! The effort and energy that has clearly gone into maintaining the trails was humbling - we had an amazing time just 'being'... Hearing the whoops of joy of the canopy tourists was an added extra and certainly contributed to our experience. We will most certainly be back! Thank you, once again, and congratulations! - Peter

We did all the trails on the Sunday - Phew! Would definitely cut the off-cambers level on the new trails as they are really slippery and especially on the red trail (which we did en route back) and literally had to go on hands and knees to scale the trail - or perhaps add ropes here. The ropes really added a more challenging aspect and a thrill over the slippery sections. The purple route atop could be a bit better marked - we just walked until the trail petered out. The green route was beautiful and we loved all the unusual and fun elements added into the forest for that Alice in Wonderland feel. The green door is a fabulous concept!! All in all, is was a tough but very satisfying day. - Kerry

The most amazing experience, calm, winter chill in the air. Sun peaking through the trees gave an amazing light show. - Simon
