About

Pretty Corner is a beautiful 165-acre patchwork woodland and heathland, which forms part of a larger network of woods and heaths. Together they stretch along the 10-mile Holt to Cromer ridge within the North Norfolk Coast National Landscape (formerly AONB). Located a few miles from the historic market town of Sheringham, Pretty Corner Woods is a great place for families to play, learn, explore and be creative together. Pretty Corner Woods is a Green Flag Award winner and is jointly managed by the Council's countryside team and the Woodlands Trust.

You will discover an interesting range of natural habitats at Pretty Corner Woods including broadleaf and coniferous trees, heathland, grassland and ponds, as well as veteran trees such as oak, beech and sweet chestnut that date back hundreds of years. Pretty Corner Woods is home to a wide range of animals, birds and creepy crawlies. Look for the fluttering wings of bats, bullfinches, kingfishers, butterflies, owls and woodpeckers. Tread carefully around the woodland flowers and ferns. Look out for the scarlet flowers on the red campion, and the white tips of wood sorrel. You might even see a deer munching in the long grass, or spot an adder or slow worm sunning itself in the heathland areas.

It is worth walking to the highest point of Pretty Corner, rising to 96 metres (315 feet) above sea level (one of the highest points in Norfolk), providing fantastic views towards Sheringham and the sea.
