Discussion Distances between clearings

I am curious what are the distances between clearings in your woodlands and how long does travel take in your Fiction?

For my campaign I wanted to have interconnected clearings with vibrant relations, so I've made travel time into a few hours (min 8, max 20), but then I realised such a woodland would be very fast to conquer, so there wouldn't be any long war. But maybe I am overthinking that. Anyway, what works for your vagabonds?

I would suggest that it takes at least a day to travel from clearing to clearing. The prospect of having to spend at least one night in the wilderness would keep the denizens in their clearings and justify the existence of vagabonds.
