Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at
Free forest lay-by car park at Thetford Warren Lodge on the B1107 Brandon road
Parking
Free lay-by at the Warren Lodge with room for about 15 cars and no charge; the free common car park off Nuns Bridges Road in Thetford is the backup
Directions to the start →

Four and a half miles and a little over two hours on forest ride, sandy heath track and riverbank, linking the flint gamekeeper's tower of Thetford Warren Lodge with the grazed acid grassland of Barnham Cross Common on the town's southern edge. It starts from the free forest car park on the B1107 Brandon road at the Warren Lodge, a short pull-in with room for about fifteen cars; if it is full, the common has its own free parking off Nuns Bridges Road. Dogs are welcome and the forest rides are safe off-lead ground, but Barnham Cross Common is grazed by cattle and sheep for conservation and needs a lead, and there is drinkable running water only at the Little Ouse.
