Morgaston Woods Green Route Walking

The half-mile green route at Morgaston Woods passes through ever-changing trees and a bird hide. It currently starts at step 2 of the route while a construction project is underway. The Vyne estate offers a 0.6 mile green route walk through woodland passing weeping willows and beech trees, with views of Wey Brook. The route goes uphill and ends at a lakeside bench before returning to the starting point by the lake. Dogs are welcome on leads along both routes.
