Welcome
Jeskyns is a Community Woodland offering something for everyone. Created in 2007, new woodlands, meadows, ponds and orchards provide the perfect backdrop for walking, nature watching, cycling and horse riding.
Young explorers can run off steam in our play areas or search for tiny residents in the Fairy Village. You can introduce your family to the Gruffalo and his friends or test your dog's skills on our Dog Activity Course.
If that all sounds too energetic, you could of course just sit back and enjoy the view with a brew from our cafe.
