Thetford Forest
Slow down. Unwind. Reconnect
Thetford Forest has dozens of walks and trails, all deserving of a spot of their own. The sprawling woodland has everything from short family-friendly strolls to challenging and lengthy hikes.
High Lodge, Thetford Forest’s popular recreation centre, has the most accessible routes, with trails suitable for people of all abilities. Families with young children will especially love the Gruffalo Spotters Trail, an interactive adventure all about discovering mystical creatures hiding in the woods - with a little help from the app, of course.
The educational Heritage Trail (2.6 miles) is wheelchair-friendly, and provides fascinating insight into the history of the landscape and the High Lodge project. Both the Pine and Nature Trails are only a mile long, while the Fir Trail ranges from 3 to 6 to 7.5 miles according to your preference. All the trails wind through the towering pine forest, with many intersected by large wooden play areas, ideal for a day out with the kids
