Which British woodland would you most love to lose yourself in for a day?

A medieval royal hunting ground where ponies still roam free across heath and broadleaf woodland. It feels like stepping into a working landscape that hasn't changed in centuries.

A tiny, otherworldly grove of stunted oaks draped in moss and lichen on the high moor. It's the closest thing England has to a fairytale forest.

Ancient Scots pines, lochs and the chance of glimpsing red squirrels or pine martens. One of the most genuinely wild places left in Britain.

One of England's largest ancient woodlands, brilliant for bluebells, dippers along the Dowles Brook and a real sense of solitude. A serious walker's woodland.

Tangled paths, weathered rocks and gnarled yews said to have inspired Tolkien. Atmospheric enough to make even a short walk feel like an adventure.
