Summary:
The forest has nine miles of good tracks with various bidleways off it. The main one being the Swans Way which shares it's beginnings with the Three Shires Way, both worthy of more than a day visit. Both long distance paths can be picked up at various stages along the route and are well documented else where. Winter going on bridleways can be sticky due to the local clay but the forest tracks are consistently good and well used, also used extensively by horseriders.

Recommended Route:
MI,J15. Towards Milton Keynes, turn left into Roade, through Hartwell. Straight on over the crossroad beyond Hartwell to the Car Park on the right. Salcey Forest is the beginning of the Swans Way which goes for about fifty miles through Milton Keynes and beyond Alyesbury.
