The curves of the 'S' shaped building lead the visitor on a sensory journey in which they experience the smell of wood, surprise at the changes in volume and are encouraged to feel the different finishes of timber. The Interpretation Centre forms an impressive, vaulted public space encompassing the whole volume of the chestnut frames. Another appealing feature is the viewing deck at first floor offering panoramic views across the ancient woodland.
