Lovely place to walk my dogs.. Might even ride a horse there if it is permitted. Wonderful rhododendrons, beautiful views, and you see so much more on horseback.

What's wrong with walking WITHOUT DOGS? Apart from an excess of stupid "pets" frightening the wildlife, Shouldham Warren is exceptionally beautiful and quiet and must be kept under Forestry Commission for the nation and not sold off. There are cuckoos, warblers,deer, grass snakes, herons, wildflowers and unique views. Why on earth can't people go for peaceful walks without bringing hordes of dogs, or guns, or soil-churning, aggressive-seeming bikes. or revolting "doggers", with them? This place is one of the few peaceful public places left in the whole UK.
