Bernwood Forest is a magnificent woodland and a great place to enjoy butterflies in the warmer months — it even has dedicated trails for this very reason. Made up of Shabbington Wood and Waterperry Wood, it was once part of the Royal Hunting Forest of Bernwood, which has granted the trees here protection for over 700 years.
