With a rich history dating back several centuries, Nettleton Plantation has become a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Covering approximately 200 acres, Nettleton Plantation offers visitors a tranquil retreat amidst the beauty of the forest. The woodland is predominantly made up of broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and hazel, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The dense canopy provides shelter for a variety of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and a myriad of bird species.
