Honeypot Wood

The small size and colourful plant life of NWT Honeypot Wood make for a fascinating walk. It is an ancient woodland with a long history of coppice-with-standards management.

In the Second World War, the wood was used as a bomb dump, and concrete rides and other storage structures were constructed.

Part of the North Norfolk Woods Living Landscape.
