Nutwith Woods are part of the Swinton Park estate near Masham and contain a wide variety of both deciduous and evergreen trees. There are some major tracks through the woods which aid navigation but there is plenty of scope to venture off along the smaller pathways to explore the trees deeper in the wood.

Good walking boots are essential and are probably preferable to wellies unless you are very nimble. It is boggy in parts but nothing spectacular and as with all woodland the ground underfoot is rough, especially if off the main tracks.

There is a lovely glade of beech trees at the south section of the woods and an interesting mix of deciduous and evergreen in the central belt. This area is on a slope so care is needed when negotiating the trees.

From the meeting place there is an uphill walk of about half a mile but this can be broken up by photo opportunities on the way.

The woods are extensive so I strongly recommend that you download/have access to a reliable GPS app to help you locate where you want to go and to return to the meeting place at the end. I use the free version of Outdoor Active available on the Google Play Store.  It is a stripped out version of O/S maps and excellent for navigation when not wearing glasses!  It covers the entire UK.

There is plenty of parking space but the wood entrance must be kept clear and be aware that there may be 7 cars trying to park in the gravel area.

Accessibility

The walk is managed woodland with wide tracks providing access to the woodland area.  There are a lot of much smaller footpaths allowing for exploration but as in all woodland these are a lot rougher and care is needed to prevent tripping and slipping.

Overall you can expect to walk about 1.5 - 2 miles overall.  The ground is undulating and the wood itself is on a slope
