Discover the wilds of Cavenham Heath with acres of stunning heathland and woodland landscapes, superb in late summer when the land turns a beautiful shade of purple as the heather starts to bloom. The heath offers walking 3 trails; a Woodland Trail which is a very peaceful easy access route, a Heathland Trail which is more adventurous but offers wonderful views across the Lark Valley and a Wetland Trail, a more demanding route alongside the River Lark. There are no facilities at Cavenham Heath

Short but punchy woodland climb up Hawson Hills from the valley of the River Kennett at Dalham. Goes up 36m in ~650m (avg. 5.5%) in a steepening gradient.

Doesn't feel like Suffolk, Off roaders have left some deep ruts but still ridable

Cavenham Heath is a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest. Wildlife thrives in the reserve and there are plenty of trails to view it up-close. You can observe birds including the rare stone curlew, common whitethroats, and wheatears. Between March and October adders are found in this area. They are quite timid and do not usually bite unless they feel threatened. However, keep a close watch on dogs during this period.

Wide tyres recommended when it’s dry...the sand is super deep in places. Beautiful view across the heathlands
