9 – Cowdray Forest – 5.5km

Having not explored this area much I didn’t know what to expect when it was suggested by Danielle C that we have a look around with our pooches. This is a small forest South East of Crawley with wide fire tracks, sandy climbs and muddy trails.

As we had never been here we decided to run blind along trails and tracks which had been well walked by others and we were not disappointed. The forest itself if fairly small and is full of winding paths. The route we took around the forest was around the 5Km  but this can easily be extended into a nice long run utilising the bridge over the railway and into woodland around Tilgate Park and Forest or zig-zagging your way around taking care of the East and South side of the forest as there are two quite fast roads. There is also a number of small waterways running through the forest so there is ample provision for hot pooches or off lead fun.
