Micheldever Wood

Micheldever Wood is the easy-going choice of the list: a mainly beech wood about five miles from Winchester, where bluebells spread beneath the smooth gray trunks. It has two waymarked trails, one of them stroller-friendly, so it suits a family morning or a short walk with small children. Forestry England manages it, and its closeness to Winchester makes it simple to pair with a day in the city.
