11th November 2024 we explored Fritton Woods (aka Waveney Valley) a two mile walk along Sandy Lane (see last week’s SPP) from the nearest bus stop, but now we’re here. Let’s go…
After the recent felling of the pine trees, new trees are springing up. These seem to be naturally generated and not in the seried ranks of the former plantation…which I much prefer
At the southern edge of the forest wends the river Waveney with its flood meadows
This close to wetlands, a drain is needed…
One of the former forest rides, now striding through the young birch thickets. Heather carpets the ground
These trees are shooting up so fast, it’s like walking into a canyon
Amongst the birch and pine, a few larch trees offer golden needles in this season
Birch and beech colour the scene!
While the birch and pine are relative youngsters, some of the beech trees are much, much older. Just look at these roots and trunks
Time to leave the forest to hike those two miles back to the bus. Hope you enjoyed











These trees are beautiful even in fall season.
