The Thicket is a serene woodland area located between St Ives and Houghton, featuring a 500-meter long path through ash and field maple trees. It serves as a habitat for a variety of native woodland animals and plants, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts to enjoy tranquil walks and observe local wildlife.
Access to The Thicket is through two entrances at either end, with paths that may be uneven and slippery when wet, making it less suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. The woodland is rich in history, showcasing ancient woodland indicators and providing a habitat for species such as green woodpeckers and lesser stag beetles, while encouraging visitors to keep dogs under close control to protect nesting birds.
