Lower Wood, Ashwellthorpe is one of Norfolk’s few remaining ancient woodlands. The name Ashwellthorpe is evidence of an early settlement here, perhaps of Danish origin and hints that ash trees, which still grow in the wood, have been part of the landscape here for over a thousand years.
This is a very varied woodland with many tree species, and its 37 hectares include a good network of rides. The wood is especially beautiful in spring with carpets of bluebells, wood anemones and ransoms.
