Archer's Belt, located in Suffolk, England, is a picturesque woodland area known for its enchanting forests and captivating natural beauty. Spanning approximately 100 acres, this woodland is a haven for nature enthusiasts and provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The woodlands of Archer's Belt are predominantly composed of dense oak and beech trees, creating a lush and vibrant canopy that provides a sanctuary for various wildlife species. The forest floor is adorned with a rich carpet of moss, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the magical ambiance of the area.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area at their leisure. These trails lead visitors through sun-dappled glades, babbling brooks, and hidden clearings, offering a chance to immerse themselves fully in the natural wonders of the forest.

Archer's Belt is not just a haven for wildlife but also a popular destination for birdwatchers. The area boasts a diverse avian population, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds.

In addition to its natural beauty, Archer's Belt also holds historical significance. The woodland was once part of an ancient hunting ground and is rumoured to have been frequented by archers during medieval times, hence the name "Archer's Belt." The remnants of old hunting lodges and deer stands can still be spotted in certain areas of the woodlands, adding a touch of intrigue to its history.

Overall, Archer's Belt offers a captivating blend of natural wonders and historical charm, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Scurvy grass by the A12 Scurvy grass likes salty conditions and by March-April the sides of the main roads here have little white mats of it as a result of winter salt-spreading. It seems to spread wherever grass is short beside the A-roads, but is far less common along lanes where presumably winter gritting is less frequent.

Railway crossing, Kiln Lane Kiln Lane loops in a horseshoe-shape away from and back to the old London-Lowestoft road, crossing the railway twice on the way. Construction of the A12 Saxmundham bypass included creating an access point onto Kiln Lane at its furthest point from the old road, making it possible for the cars to get to houses on the west side of the railway line without using the level crossings; as a result, the southern crossing shown here has been converted to a foot crossing only, and vehicles can no longer use it. The northern crossing, which is very seldom used, can be seen at <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6443619">TM3862 : Saxmundham: Kiln Lane crossing</a> and <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6443620">TM3862 : Saxmundham: Crossing Cottage, Kiln Lane</a>.

Scurvygrass next to the A12, Benhall Scurvygrass thrives in slightly salty conditions and in the early spring the sides of the main roads in this area are splashed with white patches of these little flowers, reflecting how the main roads were salted during the winter to counteract ice.
