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. Why not download a copy before you visit?
