Recreation at Cely Woods

 

Surrounded by the mature and ancient woodlands of Warwick and of White Post Woods, Cely Woods offers meadows, a small wetland and newly planted coupes of native trees. Also there’s an excellent network of paths, many all-ability accessible, providing a range of users with numerous route options around the site. It’s a rich habitat with numerous insects and flowers. Wildlife across the wetlands is a year-round treat. Try observing it from the wooden bridge that straddles the stream, dubbed the Common Watercourse. Or enjoy the views there south towards North Kent. All together Cely Woods delivers a real feel for the countryside in outer London.
