Brett's Wood

Brett’s Wood is one of NWT’s newest reserves, purchased in 2010 with a donation in memory of Robert Brett.

A decades-old conifer plantation, the site offers an exciting opportunity for woodland restoration. As would be expected, currently the commonest species are conifer-favouring birds such as goldcrest and coal tit, but the site also supports garden warbler, blackcap and willow warbler.





Fly agaric
This toadstool looks straight out of a fairy tale with its scarlet, white-spotted cap and is common in Brett’s Wood, being found beneath pine trees, fruiting mainly from September to October. Red certainly means danger in this case: fly agarics are poisonous if eaten.

Access
From Fakenham take the A148 towards Holt, approximately 1km (0.6 miles) after the Green Man Pub near Little Snoring. Entrance is on the left just before a roadside belt of beech trees. Access is on foot from the car park.
