Wow! Storm Doris is really giving us a battering. The forest is still closed to visitors and will remain closed for the rest of the day.
Even once the storm has passed, there are a number of safety checks we need to perform and repair work to be carried out to ensure the impacts of the storm are not dangerous for visitors. Although our forests are great places to visit all year round, in high winds it can be really dangerous, as branches are at risk of falling and in some cases whole trees have been uprooted. We will update Facebook once the forest park is safe and reopen to visitors.
