Corton Woods is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Suffolk, England. Covering an area of approximately 25 hectares, it is known for its natural beauty and diverse range of plant and animal species. The woods are situated near the village of Corton, just a few miles north of the popular coastal town of Lowestoft.

The woodland is predominantly made up of native broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense and leafy canopy during the summer months. This provides a habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, foxes, and numerous bird species. Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to explore and discover within Corton Woods, from the delicate bluebells that carpet the forest floor in spring to the vibrant autumnal colors that adorn the trees in fall.

Corton Woods also offers a network of well-maintained walking trails, providing visitors with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the tranquil surroundings and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The paths wind through the woods, allowing for leisurely strolls or more energetic hikes, depending on individual preferences.

In addition to its natural appeal, Corton Woods is also valued for its historical significance. The ancient woodland has been in existence for hundreds of years and has witnessed various human activities throughout its history. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and a cherished resource for the local community and visitors alike.
