Dunwich Forest is a mixture of coniferous and broadleaved woodland and is accessible from Dunwich village and a 4 mile circular walks leads through North Dunwich Forest. The woodland is currently undergoing a process of 'rewilding' with a long term plan to recreate and regenerate the natural landscape that existed prior to the conifer plantations. A herd of Dartmoor ponies > Link was introduced and is now grazing the northern area. The heathland habitat to the south is being managed by the RSPB. As the conifer crops are gradually harvested the area covered with heather will increase. Lowland heath is one of the rarest of all Britain's wildlife habitats and is vital to the survival of many rare species of birds, reptiles and butterflies.
