Short birdwatching visit · Forestry England
Lynford Arboretum
Lynford, near Mundford · IP26 5HW
Lynford Arboretum is a quiet woodland stop with a varied collection of trees and a strong birdwatching following. Three marked trails give a choice of walks, and the mixture of mature trees and more open ground suits slow scanning and listening. Local bird-club visits record Hawfinch, Brambling, Nuthatch and several tit species. Winter and early spring are usually useful for watching the trees before the canopy thickens. Choose this stop for woodland birds alongside a wider Breckland visit.
