About Yellow Trail

This trail runs along well made tracks with frequent benches. From a clockwise approach it gradually looses height as it passes conifer and mixed woodland to the pond and then to the 'grandparent' Oak tree. This is followed by a 200m incline to a level walk passed Wellintonia trees, mixed woodland and an area recently cleared to encourage native broadleaf woodland.

How to get there:

Yellow Trail can be started from Bacton Woods Car Park in Bacton Wood. North Walsham is the nearest town or village.

Bacton Wood is found between the B1159 at Bacton and North Walsham.

What's of interest

The area at the North of this wood, in the area of the yellow and blue trails was an ancient broadleaf woodland. Thinning and felling of conifers in this area is now encouraging natural regeneration of broadleaf species. Look out for Blubells, Wood Sorrel, and Dog's Mercury.
