Bawdeswell Forest

 

How to Get There

Heading from Norwich on the A47 take the Slip road of the A47 at East Dereham and head North from the round about (turn back on yourself and go under the A47) heading towards Dereham town center (across two sets of traffic lights),from Swaffham / King's Lynn take the East Dereham slip road, turn right at the T junction and then left at the traffic lights. Either way you will find yourself going past Halfords (behind which is Paul's cycles which is a excellent place to find cheap new bikes(upstairs)),you will go over two mini roundabouts and enter Dereham town center, when you come upon a real round about turn tight, JUST after this roundabout you will go past a sort of Y junction where taking the straight on is the right fork, take the left fork down the smaller road and follow the sign posts to Swanton Morley. Leave Dereham on the B1147 and keep going straight, go through Swanton Morley and keep going straight, on the approach to Bawdeswell you will pass a keep house on your right and a long brick wall which is a little run down .... before you get to the end of the wall and the houses on your left you will see a TINY entrance to a small car park, this is where you want to be, if you get as far as the A1067 you have gone way to far.

 

What's There

Well typical off the play areas in Norfolk, it's small, larger than most in this area but its still fairly small. Up the top (it is basically on a small hill) are several man made jumps and around this are some great pieces of single track. Linking the jumps up with single track can be great fun. Nice for a few hours on a Sunday
