Great place for an easy walk with the kids and the dog any time of the year. Siver Birch trees add that little extra bit of interest to the walk.

I love this walk and also exploring the other tracks that cross the marked path. Even when wet itnis not muddy; the dogs love it and are totally safe. Perfect way to spend a spare hour.

What's of interest

Most of the waymarked walks throughout Thetford Forest Park are suitable for wheelchair access and pushchairs. Some tracks are quite sandy in places and may become waterlogged after prolonged periods of rain. You can also view a printable version of the map online.
