High Woods Country Park - "High Woods Country Park is one of Colchester's beauty spots. The park provides habitats for thousands of different birds and mammals, including woodland, a lake, wildflower meadows, marshes, hayfields, scrubland, and open spaces" "Most of the woodland paths near to the Visitor Centre are level, even and have a bound surface. There's a bench every 70 yards on the sign-posted 'Easy Access Trail' (1/3 mile).  Access could be more difficult for people with reduced mobility in areas away from the Visitor Centre.  Woodland paths are made of compacted clay and stone.  Beyond the woods the paths are mostly natural, and some sections can be very wet and muddy in the winter.  All routes have regular resting points.  Terrain is undulating with some steep slopes." "BIG GardenWheelchair accessible including raised beds.  273 metres from the Visitor Centre along level surfaced paths" "A number of wheelchair accessible picnic tables can be found in the picnic area around the Visitor Centre car park" "The designated cycle paths through the park are ideal for use by mobility scooters. They allow access from the west of the park at Hillridge on the Highwoods estate to Broadlands Way in the south and to either Thronton Drive or the woodlands with their surfaced paths in the east.  " - from the Colchester Borough Council website
