Woolman’s Wood is a private wood, but you are allowed to walk around it. It has many paths but as it is fenced off you cannot go to far wrong!
Hedsor church is an amazing place to look over the valley - as you walk out of Riversdale you’ll see it on the hill. The church is known to date from the end of the 12th century.
