Sherwood Pines is a large forest with activity trails, cycling and mountain biking routes, and walking trails including the Ranger's trail. There's a Go Ape zip wire course, Pedal and Play (an innovative bike activity), bike hire, wild running, and an all-terrain mobility scooter for hire. The Room on the Broom interactive trail guides families through forest-themed activities. Play areas include natural play spaces and inclusive play areas. The café serves locally sourced snacks and homemade cake. Overnight stays are available in forest cabins and at the on-site campsite.
