That's a really useful link. Nice one.

Just tried searching with the only option of "camping allowed", only 10 woods returned accross the UK. Oh well could be worse could be 0.

You all probably know this web site where's the path but it it a nice accompaniment to the link from durulz. Just grab the OS grid ref fom woodland trust and put it in the where's the path site so you can get a better idea of the wood.

LOL... the wood nearest me that allows camping has a certain reputation which makes it a place I'd not like to wander around on my own... :yikes:

Dogging? Or worse?

...that and worse Chad.

We used to have a group of offenders who worked there once a week helping to clear paths etc and they were regularly propositioned. It got so bad that they refused to go anywhere unless it was as a group. In the end we closed the project down because of all the trouble it caused.

Ya I figured as much Steve. I wouldn't appreciate urban bushcrafting, there are too many places to get mugged or bummed within city limits! If that's going to happen it should be in the sticks with banjos playing in the background...:yikes::AR15firin

I used the visit woods website this morning to find somewhere new to go with the dog, and ended up in a little gem of a place only a few miles away, which I would never have otherwise found. Great link. Thank you.

Interesting to note that there is a link to contact the landowner of the woodland too (you have to register first) - a good way of seeking permissions, perhaps?
