Friston Forest
 

Friston Forest offers an infinite number of way marked routes for visitors to explore the beech woods. It's undulating terrain makes it popular with walkers and mountain bikers. Both are served with waymarked trails of varying lengths. Two car parks service the forest, giving visitors a choice of facilities, views and landscapes.
Quiet valleys within the forest offer sheltered habitats for many species of wildlife. Glimpses of rare butterflies like the fritillaries and elusive deer, can reward patient observers.
