Pigneys Wood

Pigneys Wood is located close to the North Norfolk town of North Walsham and sitting alongside the Dilham canal. The nature reserve is a diverse wood with over 20 hectares and more than 20,000 trees of 40 different species since the site was acquired by the North Norfolk Community Woodland Trust in 1993. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust took over management of this wildlife-rich reserve in 2007.

Pigneys Wood is refuge for wildlife, with woodland birds such as nuthatch, treecreeper, great spotted woodpecker, and woodcock all established here.

The site also includes a renovated barn, reed beds, and information boards on wild flowers, butterflies, trees and birds. There is provision for wheelchair access and a number of areas where you can simply sit and enjoy the scenery.

There are several walking trails around the wood, and dogs on leads are welcome.
