Thetford Forest, Norfolk & Suffolk

Woodland, heathland, and routes across Norfolk and Suffolk

Thetford Forest extends across Norfolk and Suffolk, forming the largest lowland pine forest in the United Kingdom. Created during the early 20th century, the forest covers a landscape of woodland, heathland, open clearings, and forest tracks that connect places across the Brecks.

Located close to the start of the Peddars Way and within the wider Breckland landscape, Thetford Forest forms part of a network of routes, landscapes, and places linking Norfolk and Suffolk. Today, the forest connects long-distance trails, nature reserves, and historic landscapes across one of East Anglia's most distinctive environments.
