About West Stow

West Stow offers good opportunities for quiet recreation and wildlife watching in Kings Forest. On the northern edge of the Lark Valley, the walk passes through belts of old pine and oak as well as newly planted and mature conifers. Dale pond adds diversity to the area with its rich dragonfly life and is also a summer watering hole for many birds.

How to get there:

West Stow is in Thetford Forest Park. Bury St Edmunds is the nearest town or village.

Join the B1106 towards Bury St Edmunds.

Turn right on a sharp left hand bend, signposted West Stow.

Continue along this road. Turn right into West Stow village.

On the edge of the village, bear right. The picnic area is a few hundred yards along this track on the left hand side.
