Description

Dudmaston Estate Comer Woods Covering 457 acres of Dudmaston's 3,000 acre estate, Comer Woods is a working woodland for nature, people and wildlife. Forestry and woodland management, which saved the whole estate from financial ruin in the 20th century, is still an important part of our work today.

Open every day, all year round, there are paths for walking, running and cycling to suit all abilities. Three pools, named Brim, Seggy and Wall, offer an opportunity to pause, reflect and watch out for wildlife on the water. Connect the trails to venture out of Comer Woods and further onto this large estate.

Prices starts from £6.00 for all day car park. If you are looking for Best place to visit with family and kids then you should visit this place once for day out with kids and families.
