Swinley Forest stretches over 2,600 acres of gentle hills between Bracknell and Crowthorne. The Look Out Discovery Centre is the main attraction for families, offering over 90 activities for children of all ages. There is a fantastic play area in the forest, and Woodlarks Café serves food and drinks next to the adventure play area. The forest is suitable for walking, cycling and other outdoor activities. Many visitors use The Look Out as a base to explore the surrounding area.
