Introduction

Situated on the Hampshire/Surrey border, Alice Holt Forest is an ancient forest famous for its oak trees. Forest Enterprise have designated the area a Woodland Park. This means that it is managed for the benefit of its visitors and its wildlife, as well as being a working forest.

The Forest Centre, near the car park, is an ideal place to begin your exploration of Alice Holt. Well-marked tracks will help you discover the forest's beauty. Bike's can be hired and there are easy access trails for wheelchairs or families with young children.

Several events are run throughout the year at Alice Holt including activities for children during school holidays. The annual programme can be obtained on request or from the Forest Centre.
