There are various trails that you can explore on Troopers Hill. The trails are designed to be fun ways of exploring the Hill while learning more about its wildlife and history

Woodland Trail - Troopers Hill Woodland

This marked trail is just under 600m and the complete circuit (including crossing the Field and the top part of the Hill) is around 900m or just over half a mile. There are four carved marker posts (each with their own name) and the trail webpage has information about what you can see at each point. The locations of the waymarkers are shown on the map in our 'General Information & Wildlife' site leaflets.

There is also a version of the web page designed for use on mobiles which allows you to look at the information as you go round.

The Woodland Trail was created and installed as part of our Lottery Funded Stepping Forward Improving Access Project in 2012.

Three short trails to follow around Troopers Hill - explore the Hill and learn more about the wildlife that lives there.

The trails make wonderful short walks for visitors of all ages begining near the top of the Hill using symbols based on artwork drawn by children from Summerhill Academy.
