Kings Forest, Suffolk

This view of Kings Forest – a section of Thetford Forest Park – is taken from Google Earth at an elevation of 7 km. This can be seen as a landscape in transition. Note the old 20th century state-planning style of regimental blocks, and then look at how Forestry Enterprise are now remodelling the forest by felling and replanting to newer curvy jigsaw puzzle plans, to create a more natural feel to the forest. Some landscape historians however, are concerned that by doing so, they might also remove older lines such as field and land divisions that predate afforestation.

Note: This page and photo dates to circa 2003.
