Dunwich Forest, Nature reserve in Suffolk, England
The 175-hectare forest contains a mix of coniferous and broadleaf trees, providing habitats for deer, foxes, and numerous bird species throughout the year.
The forest stands on land that was part of a medieval town called Dunwich, which declined and disappeared due to coastal erosion over centuries.
Suffolk Wildlife Trust manages sections of the forest where Dartmoor ponies contribute to traditional land management methods and ecological preservation.
The forest offers unrestricted access throughout the year, with free parking facilities and marked walking trails accessible from Dunwich village.
In 2006, Forestry England initiated a rewilding program to transform parts of the northern conifer plantation into natural broadleaf woodland.
