The Hidden Heritage of High Lodge

High Lodge Heritage Trail

The Heritage Trail at High Lodge

Visitors try out the new trail Heritage Trail Map

This 4.2km all-ability trail, with short cuts at 1 km and 3 km, makes the forest and its heritage more accessible for everyone as it has a smooth surface suitable for buggies, mobility scooters and wheelchairs and benches and perches at 100m intervals.

Eight audio-listening tell the stories of the heritage features along the trail. Two shelters contain infornmation panels about the wildlife and timber production.

Please make sure you walk the trail when you're at High Lodge - some of the interpretation will change with the seasons - and enjoy the benefits of this National Lottery Heritage Fund funded project.
