Discover the wilds of Cavenham Heath with acres of stunning heathland and woodland landscapes, superb in late summer when the land turns a beautiful shade of purple as the heather starts to bloom. The heath offers walking 3 trails; a Woodland Trail which is a very peaceful easy access route, a Heathland Trail which is more adventurous but offers wonderful views across the Lark Valley and a Wetland Trail, a more demanding route alongside the River Lark. There are no facilities at Cavenham Heath
