Two hundred species of tree planted in the 1950s beside Lynford Water in Thetford Forest, with a lake, a picnic area and hawfinches in the paddocks in winter. Dogs are allowed, and the surfaced rides make this the sensible Brecks walk when everywhere else is under water. There are no toilets on site.

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your attraction?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Three and three quarter miles, an easy hour and three quarters on level forest rides, following the Desert Rats interpretation trail through the pines where the 7th Armoured Division trained before D-Day, with a Cromwell tank standing at the entrance. Turn off the A1065 Brandon to Swaffham road about two miles beyond Mundford into High Ash, postcode IP26 5BZ, where there are no parking charges at all and the car park is open dawn to dusk. Dogs are welcome and the rides are wide, quiet and safe for off-lead work with good sightlines, but there is no water at all on the site so bring your own, and roe deer are common enough that a whistle beats a shout.

Off-lead allowed

Three miles in about an hour and a half on gravel path, grass ride and a stretch of estate track, round the two hundred species of the arboretum, past Lynford Hall and along the lake where hawfinches feed in the yews in winter. It starts at the Forestry England car park on Lynford Road, postcode IP26 5HW, which is £1.80 for two hours and £3 all day by RingGo, free to members, and open dawn to dusk with no toilets. Dogs are allowed throughout, the going is level and firm enough for an elderly dog, the lake gives a safe shallow drink at the bridge, and the arboretum is popular with birdwatchers so a lead in the yew paddocks is courteous.
