Calves Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Suffolk, England. It covers an area of approximately 30 hectares and is nestled within the rolling countryside of East Anglia. The wood is situated near the village of Calvesford and is easily accessible via a network of country lanes.

This ancient woodland is predominantly composed of oak and beech trees, which create a dense canopy that filters the sunlight, casting a tranquil atmosphere throughout the forest. The forest floor is adorned with a rich carpet of bluebells in the springtime, adding a vibrant burst of color to the landscape.

Calves Wood is a haven for wildlife, providing a diverse habitat for a range of flora and fauna. The wood is home to a wide variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, tawny owls, and jays. Small mammals such as foxes, badgers, and squirrels can also be spotted darting amongst the undergrowth.

An extensive network of footpaths and trails crisscrosses the woodland, allowing visitors to explore the natural beauty at their leisure. The paths wind through the ancient trees, leading to hidden clearings, babbling brooks, and small ponds. The wood is a popular destination for walkers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers, who are drawn to its tranquil ambiance and scenic vistas.

Calves Wood offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and experience the wonders of an ancient English woodland.

Glemsford: Chinese bond on Hunts Hill The original part of this house has Chinese bond brickwork. The bricks are laid on edge rather than flat, which makes them appear larger than if laid conventionally. This method enabled fewer bricks to be used and a house made more cheaply.
