Fire Lookout Tower in Kings Forest, Thetford Forest Park
Fire lookout towers, or forest fire watch towers, are situated at various points around Thetford Forest Park - this one is situated in Kings Forest. NEVER CLIMB THEM! Some of them are in a state of disrepair. This one was captured in January, late afternoon. A number of the rides are classed as Fire Routes - to enable fire fighting teams to combat the forest fires that occur every summer. Fire routes are marked along the roads by their red numbers painted on white signs.
