Walking at Haigh

Notices

Haigh Woodland Park is a walkers paradise. Stroll through our enchanting woods and find a nice spot for a picnic, take a relaxing ramble along the canal, or enjoy a morning meander across the park, on your way to a tasty lunch at Haigh Kitchen Courtyard.

However you choose to enjoy our green haven, we've got you covered with a series of Haigh Woodland Park walking guides, created to show you the best bits and hidden gems of Haigh Woodland Park.

We're currently putting together a bid for National Lottery funding to restore the signposts for these walks and introduce many more.
