Know before you go:
MWT Hairpin Woodland Park is the gateway to the Ramsey Forest, which is a long-term Manx Wildlife Trust project to encourage the naturally expanding woodland cover between Ramsey and Sulby. Previously a plantation, many natural seeded trees now join treelings planted by MWT to generate the island's first national forest.
Precise Location: Site is located on the A18 mountain road south of Ramsey at the Ramsey hairpin corner.
Parking:Parking for approximately a dozen cars is available at the roadside carpark at the hairpin corner on A18 road. ///wakeful.honest.valued
Sections of the woodland park are steep, however, there are some lower paths with only a small incline. Have a go on the tots trail on the lower path, or head up to the logstickle course for bigger kids
