Ripped trousers at Swineshead Woods

Our first Woodland Trust owned wood, 22hectares of SSSI and absolutely covered in bluebells. Swineshead Woods is quite vast but to get to it was a chore as we tried to enter via Kimbolton but the track is closed between October and May so we decided to drive to the other end of the track where we packed, and walked up the woods. You could fit 2/3 cars in the car park, but I wouldn't want to drive up the track to be honest so I'm glad it was closed.

We decided to walk the perimeter walk, but it was so big we only managed to do half of the woods. We saw one other dog, unfortunately it jumped up on my a couple of times and ripped my trousers and scratched Ali. We saw buzzards overhead and plenty of bluebells and primrose. A gorgeous wood, we will definitly be back.
