Lower Lodge Plantation is a picturesque woodland area located in Suffolk, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a stunning example of a well-preserved forest ecosystem. The plantation is situated in a rural area, surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native tree species, such as oak, beech, and birch. These trees provide a dense canopy, creating shaded areas beneath them. The forest floor is covered in a lush carpet of ferns, wildflowers, and mosses, adding to the enchanting beauty of the landscape.

Lower Lodge Plantation is a haven for a wide variety of wildlife. The dense vegetation provides excellent habitat and shelter for numerous bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. Squirrels and rabbits can be spotted darting through the undergrowth, while deer occasionally roam through the woodland, adding a touch of wildness to the area.

The plantation boasts several well-maintained trails and footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the woodland and immerse themselves in nature. These paths wind through the forest, leading to secluded clearings and hidden glens, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
