Recreational Facilities
The forest is one of the Forestry Commission's most popular destinations, attracting over 290,000 visitors a year. Its facilities include a cafe, natural spaces and outdoor play structures for children to explore, cycle hire, and over 8 miles of waymarked trails for walking and cycling. Horse-riding is permitted in some parts of the forest. A notable success has been the Cycling for All project, which provides opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to improve their health and well-being through cycling. The Forestry Commission's project partner, the CTC, now regards Alice Holt Forest as a national centre of excellence for cycling, and it has been used as an example best practice for projects elsewhere.
