Visiting Maulden Wood

Maulden Wood is easy to find and to get around, with good paths and picnic spaces. It's a friendly place, and with entrance free of charge it attracts many visitors every day. There's even a snack bar in the lay by at the entry.

Schools and community groups are welcome to visit the woods or get involved in the project. Visit will be tied in the national curriclum especially Science and Religious Education (RE). 

While communities can run their own visits and programmes in the wood, LCOF and BCOF will run programmes towards celebrations of different faiths and traditions to bring people together and learn about each other towards tolerance and mutual understanding. In the context of Luton, the project ties in the Luton in Harmony Campaign led by Luton Borough Council.
