Green Wall Plantation is a sprawling wooded area located in the picturesque county of Dorset in southwestern England. Covering an area of approximately 500 acres, this plantation is renowned for its verdant forests and diverse flora and fauna.

The plantation is primarily composed of a mix of native deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a rich and varied ecosystem. Majestic oak, beech, and ash trees dominate the landscape, while Scots pine and Douglas fir add to the plantation's charm. The dense canopy formed by these trees provides a haven for a wide range of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds.

Walking through Green Wall Plantation offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in nature's tranquility. The well-maintained footpaths wind through the plantation, allowing hikers to explore its hidden corners and discover its natural beauty. The plantation also features a number of picnic areas, making it an ideal spot for families and nature enthusiasts to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Green Wall Plantation is not only a haven for wildlife but also serves as an important carbon sink, contributing to the fight against climate change. The trees within the plantation absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, mitigating the effects of greenhouse gas emissions.

Stile near Pulham Compared to the last stile <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7560806">ST7008 : Damaged stile near Pulham</a>, this looks fine, but beyond it the course of footpath N49 20 is through absolutely impenetrable woodland, even if daylight can be seen on the far side of the field boundary. I've no intention of retracing my steps given the difficulty of doing so, so will have to look for another route.

House at Pulham Chaselands also appears in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7180955">ST7008 : Field, West Pulham</a>. Needless to say the footpath I was trying to follow has no exit onto the road where mapped; I took the trouble to search diligently on both sides of the hedge. So I have to leave this meadow via the entrance driveway to the house. Footpath N49 20 is 478 metres long (<span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.rowmaps.com/showmap.php?place=West%20Pulham&map=BingOS&lat=50.8723&lon=2.4236&lonew=W" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.rowmaps.com/showmap.php?place=West%20Pulham&map=BingOS&lat=50.8723&lon=2.4236&lonew=W">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ) and has around four impassable stiles or crossing places, which could easily be a record, at around 1 per 120 metres. It took me 18 minutes to get from one end to the other.

Missing footpath, Pulham This shows the section of the B3143 where footpath N49 20 is mapped as beginning. I walked along it, very carefully looking for any sign of a path, but in vain.
