About

Sadlers Wood, on the eastern side of North Walsham is a Green Flag Award Winner.

The wood is predominantly a plantation of Scots pine dating back to the 1950s. It also contains veteran oak, sweet chestnut, and hornbeam trees. In spring, the woodland floor is covered in a carpet of bluebells. The surrounding area consists of grassland for casual games and natural grassland where native flora is encouraged.

Tawny owls live in the woods along with many species of bat, soprano pipistrelles, and common pipistrelles. On warm days, butterflies can be seen along with the wildflowers of the grassland meadows. In the summer, dragonflies can be seen dashing about hunting for prey.

Sadlers Wood is home to a small children's play area, which includes swings, a slide, a zip line and a supernova roundabout.
