Good Wood is a guided woodland walk and talk with Darren Norris, Head of Forestry at the Goodwood Estate. This is a unique chance to step behind the scenes and discover how a large estate manages its forestry: from innovative approaches to tree planting and woodland care, to the many uses of timber and the challenges of balancing sustainability with tradition. As we walk through the estate’s beautiful and varied woodlands and possibly past its famous Cedar of Lebanons, Darren will share insights into the exciting and forward-thinking work taking place here, showing why this really is “good wood” in every sense.
Places strictly limited. Only one dog on a lead allowed. Please email if you would like to bring a dog so I can confirm availability of this space.
RURAL STRIDES
Rural Strides is passionate about the rich history and cultural landscape of the Western Weald. Through our engaging guided walks, we bring the land to life. We interpret its stories, uncover its heritage, and reveal the character that makes this corner of the South Downs so special. Along the way, we introduce you to inspiring local businesses, each rooted in the community and landscape we share.
Our aim is simple: to create authentic, memorable experiences that connect you with the place and its people. By the end of a Rural Strides walk, you won’t just have explored the Western Weald, you’ll feel like a local.
