Reviews of The Wicker Man
t. h.Not to be confused with the 1973 film of the same name starring Edward Woodwood 🤣
The dog loved it, spent most of the time exploring the bushes. The Wicker Man sculpture was an impressive structure. Went in search of the Wicker Woman and Chickens but sadly failed probably due to the total lack of signage. The various Stone circles dotted around the site were equally uninspiring with their relief carvings.
S. B.Beautiful walk on a cold bright crisp day x
a. h.A park that's a mix of a walk that's a bit muddy and paths. Great
P. c.Good walk for dogs and people plenty of tracks to follow
S. F.On outskirts of Durham City, small carpark, great for a quick walk overlooking River Wear.
D. P.Nice place to walk the dogs
C. L.Nice little walk to see the Wicker Man
p. w.Good but car park closed at moment
I. W.Huge instalation with smaller ones nearby.
M. T.Beautiful Durham countryside!
S.Not very talkative...
S. C.Good walk. Bit difficult to find if you were coming from the woods way but all in all a nice area with good views on a clear day. Not much to it once you're there. We usually eat our packed lunch here then continue our walk around the woods and city.
L. W.Love the Wicker Man!!
S. B.Was different but unique

r. h.Worth the walk to see the view he has, amazing, if you're feeling energetic wander off to find his wife and chickens , look our for the stone circle and the willow tunnel.
D. V. P.Who would of known this was on my doorstep. Well done National Trust. Don't know a lot about thus gentleman but I think he fantastic. Makes for a nice picture. Worth a look.
A. R.I don't know why Google calls this impressive sculpture The Wicker Man. His real name, given by the Woodland Trust who installed him, is the Willow Miner. He's a miner because in the 19th century there was a short-lived coalmine, Croxdale Pit, at Low Burn Hall, although only traces remain. And willow because although his main structure is made of steel there is some willow woven in this framework. If you want to find his wife you have to go all the way downhill from the miner then follow the Riverside Trail - it goes off to the left just before the Boutique Bed and Breakfast. Follow it close to the river for 800m, she's under trees just before the track veers to the right in the direction of the A167 and the Honest Lawyer hotel. The Willow Wife has a couple of willow chickens and last time I visited some thoughtful person had put a blown hen's egg in her basket; she also had a fetching safety pin in her nose and her fingers were decorated with lesser celandines!
T. E.Long walk, but great place for dog walking
M. N.The ground was still slightly frozen, which made the walk easier, it can obviously be very muddy.
The woodland is very young, thus we weren't protected from the wind very much, which can be biting as you are at the top of the river embankment. The views from the willow miner are pretty good, weather permitting.
J. W.Beautiful area with nice walks, the Wicker Man is a must photo with the kids and look out for the wicker woman feeding wicker chickens further on. A bit of traffic noise from the A167 is a bit of a shame and watch out, it gets insanely muddy after wet weather.
J. W.A Lovely large wicker Miner looking over the Durham Countryside now accompanied by a boy and girl chasing a hoop - again in wicker or willow. Tha car park is massively improved, and sometimes there is a coffee shack on fridays, saturdays and sundays during the summer.
Its all part of a large woodland trust site which is wonderful - loads of trees, loads of wildflowers , further wicker statues down near the river. Lots of walking and lots of wildlife a lovelt site - called Low Burnhall. Just off the A167.
S. H.Just done a beautiful walk probably only covered 2thirds of the woodland due to a change in the weather but plenty of wildlife lurking around the area and the bluebells will be carpeting the woodland soon!
