Barrow Moor deep in the forest, an ancient woodland packed with plenty of majestic pre enclosure trees, is always good walking. It's an interesting woodland, in a ruffled landscape, and being the headwaters of one of the forests many smaller tributary streams, several of the ruffles are bog filled making navigation difficult and confusing if you don't know the area. If you do know the area and you're canny about your route, you don't have to travel far to travel far. By which I mean you can walk for two or three miles in the same relatively small area of woodland without walking the same path twice (beyond a couple of nodal points and causeways), nor ever seeing the same views, and although they may well often be the same trees seen differently different aspects are illuminated. I walk Barrow Moor like this frequently, and I never get bored of it. It's a tardis of a wood.
