    please be aware the forestry commission have now placed concrete blocks in the entrance to the site restricting access to vehicles of 2.3 meters or less meaning larger motor homes, bus or lorry based conversions will no longer be able to access the site although this should not effect van conversions and smaller motor homes.

    One our our favourite spots of all times. Always a bit busy during the day, but not many people stay overnight. Infinity of walks in forest, around the river etc. No facilities, mostly no signal (vodafone) - great place to escape civilisation!

    Sehr schöner Ort mitten im Wald. Wir haben hier eine relativ ruhige Nacht verbracht. Allerdings ist Campen nicht erlaubt. Es waren trotzdem einige Camper und sogar Leute mit Zelten da. Wird wohl eher geduldet. Die Toiletten waren geschlossen. Bei der Anfahrt mit größeren Fahrzeugen sollte man beachten, dass bei der Anfahrt über Santon Downham eine Brücke passiert werden muss, die nur bis 3t ist.

    Great little spot by the river!! Lots of walks from here and definitely a great spot for swimming, paddleboards or kayaks

    To answer my own question in the comment below I drove here. Decent phone signal (2 Bars/3G on Vodafone). Toilets are closed due to Coronavirus. Very pleasant spot. Rubbish bins available. Drinking water tap is no longer working.

    Beautiful spot in the forest, have stayed overnight without issue although I don’t think you’re supposed to. Word of warning though can get “busy” in the evening dogging spot!
