You can extend this walk into the woodland, see map if you choose to extend this to a 2.2 mile walk. You can also walk to the FBC Centre which has a large play area plus bike / scooter track and multi-ball area, if you would like to extend your day out and walk.

There are two brilliant playgrounds at The Pinewood Centre in Wokingham Without - one is a wooden adventure playground set in a woodland and the other is train themed and next to the Pinewood Miniature Railway but neither are far apart from one another, so you could play in both whilst visiting. In addition there is the Pinewood Trim Trail (see picture below), which is a free wooden fitness trail for 12 years plus which can be found near Dickie’s Pond.

We visited the Pinewood Miniature Railway situated between Wokingham and Crowthorne on 15th April 2018.

Whilst waiting it was great fun just watching the trains (a mixture of electric and steam) leaving and returning to the station and it meant that my little one didn’t get bored as there was plenty to see and talk about. When we visited back in 2018 tickets for the train…
