The reserve is a Special Site for Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its variety of flora and has received a Green Flag Award, which recognises the best parks in the country, for the last 11 years.
Visitors can follow the 1.5km trail, or simply explore the wood’s many tracks and paths. There are three observation hides, where you can wait quietly for a glimpse of a green woodpecker or Muntjac deer.
In the accessible conservation centre, learn about the local wildlife from the classroom full of woodland specimens, taxidermy and information posters.
Children can hire bug hunting kits, have fun in the den building area, hire binoculars and complete seasonal spotter sheets.
During school holidays, there are plenty of activity sessions for young people.
Parndon Wood has informal visits by schools, which offer demonstrations of woodland crafts, painting and woodcarving, supporting national curriculum studies.
