The reserves are situated between Launde and Loddington, in east Leicestershire. From the Tilton to Oakham road take any of several roads signposted to Launde. Continue through Launde park with the Abbey on your left, stopping at the top of the hill where a public footpath is signposted to the right and a bridle way to the left.
Launde Big Wood can be seen in the distance to the west, while the Park Wood to the the east, is partially hidden by a tall hedge. Walk along the public rights of way and enter the woods through the gates at their entrance. Waterproof footwear is always recommended at the moment the dry weather has dried up most of the paths and some areas of the countryside show some very large cracks in the ground.
Dogs are not allowed at Launde Big Wood due to the sensitive wildlife.
Dogs are permitted at Launde Park Wood but only under strict control - able to bring to heel at all times.
