Explore Two Mile Bottom
(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

Family relaxing at Two Mile Bottom in Thetford forest. East Anglia FD

The magnificent beeches lining the A134 at this site provide the setting for one of the most attractive picnic spots within the forest.

Despite its proximity to the road, the splendour of the beech canopy affords an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

An open area next to the car park gives opportunities for those wishing to picnic or play during their stay. Here, heather and grasses add a splash of colour and interest for insects such as butterflies and bees, reminiscent of the former Breckland heaths..

Advice for visitors

What's Here?

  • Dogs on lead
  • Picnic
  • Walking
  • Horse riding
    • The Forestry Commission has a Open Access policy for horse riding. As a consequence there are very few way-marked trails in the forest. O.S.Explorer map 229 shows areas owned by the Forestry Commission and open to the public to ride. Deboxing areas can be found at the east end of the Harling Drove (FR23) and north of the railway line at Santon Downham. The areas north of the railway line are best suited to horse riding as this is away from the concentration of visitors using High Lodge and the cycling trails. Please observe all signs especially those relating to 'Forest Operation'.
