Alice Holt Forest

Britain was once completed covered in trees. Alan Titchmarsh never tires of telling us this, as if we should feel guilty somehow for betraying our boreal roots. There's now only a few pockets of forest left. Alice Holt is a "woodland park" with marked trails for all the family to enjoy.



The Habitat trail is only 0.7 miles, takes about an hour to get round, has animal sculptures to climb and is very muddy.

The forestry commission doesn't have much to do these days, litter patrol and whittling demonstrations.

I now know what you mean Mr Titchmarsh. Imagine earth restored to her former beauty,
stately trees fill the land, birdsong fills the air, deep blue skies complete the symphony.
