Haldon Forest Park is the perfect place to get outdoors this winter with beautiful walks close to Exeter. With a few simple essentials, you’ll be ready for an unforgettable adventure. Read on for our top 5 winter walk essentials to enjoy the forest, whatever the weather!

Warm clothes

You don’t need any special equipment to enjoy a trip to the forest. We recommend comfy shoes, like trainers or walking boots, and a warm coat. It can be colder in the forest than at home, so a hat, gloves and an extra jumper are a good idea to stay snug.

Eyes and ears

Pause during your visit to soak up the sights and sounds of the forest. Explore the colours of the trees, listen to the calls of the birds in the canopy, and enjoy panoramic views across the landscape.

Camera

Don’t leave home without a camera or phone to capture your favourite memories of the forest. Winter lighting adds amazing qualities and incredible sunsets are a daily occurrence.

Good company

Grab your favourite people to make unforgettable memories. Whether you’re snuggling up in the cafe or jogging along to keep warm, do it together.

Picnic

Eating al fresco isn’t just for summer! Flasks of soup and hot chocolate are perfect to wrap you fingers round as you watch the steam curl into the cold air.
