Fantastic greenspace for Aldershot. Once a military training area, these woodlands have been transformed into an inviting public space for everyone to enjoy. Named after Arthur Wellesley, better known as the 1st Duke of Wellington.

Our 'Greenspace on your doorstep' directory lists over 70 local woodlands, parks, meadows and riversides across Surrey, Hampshire & Berkshire. They've all been set aside by local authorities to give us places to get fresh air and exercise, with the family or the dog! All have free car parking, many with dedicated car parks. Most have dog poo bins and have been designed with dog-walking in mind.
