About

High Lodge

Set within Thetford Forest on the Suffolk-Norfolk border, High Lodge is Forestry England's main visitor hub for the region's largest lowland pine forest. Activities include marked walking and cycling trails, a Go Ape canopy adventure course, Gruffalo-themed trails for younger children, and dedicated play areas. A café on site means there's no need to pack a picnic, though barbecue areas are available too.
