Goldfinch Wood is a bright, airy woodland with sweeping views west across the Norfolk countryside set the edge of open fields.
A wide grass track leads from the shared entrance into the heart of the wood, where a large clearing makes a natural camp area. Rides run in and around the site, which helps with woodland management and gives you plenty of choice for setting up a base for bushcraft, play or other woodland activities. The ground is level throughout, so the whole wood is easy to explore.
Pine dominates, joined by mature oak, beech and sycamore. Beneath them, the understorey includes sweet chestnut, laurel, rhododendron and holly.
The wood is rich in wildlife. Roe and muntjac deer are regularly seen or heard, while owls, buzzards and a variety of songbirds, including the goldfinches that give the wood its name, live in the canopy.
For anyone thinking about buying their first woodland, Goldfinch is an excellent place to start, needing very little work. It’s also a lovely spot to camp, especially when the sun sets over the western view.
Nearby, the villages of Cawston (west) and Aylsham (east) have welcoming pubs and local amenities. For a change of scene, the coastal town of Cromer and the beautiful Norfolk coast are only a 20-minute drive away.The ward is Aylsham, and the County Council is Norfolk.
