The main access to the woodland is from the eastern end, directly from Pinch Hill via an established gateway which in turn leads to the hardcore parking area.

The woodland is part of the Hele Valley Trail and was established with the help and support of a number of local organisations and government organisations, as noted on various signposts and information boards which are located around the site.
