This trail starts in the car park and is an ideal outing for all the family. It’s a short walk through Norway Spruce and Oak. Towards the end of this trail, one comes to a striking piece of sculpture called the “BLACK STACK”  which symbolises a petrified tree trunk from an ancient Carboniferous forest.      This walk follows paths through the trees parallel to the main road, crossing it twice. Mature oak trees here were planted nearly 200 years ago and the Millennium Forest area here had 40,000 oak saplings planted in 2000. Care is needed crossing the road.
