Rendlesham Forest was planted as commercial woodland in the 1920s.

The forest was the setting for a well-known UFO incident in 1980. Servicemen at RAF Woodbridge saw lights in the trees. They reported discovering a conical object, about the size of a car, floating in a forest clearing, which disappeared as they approached. 🛸

There are toilets at the car park, and a network of gravel trails to ride.

Great place for a days trail riding, £4 to park all day with toilets and picnic benches. There are 2 bike trails and a Bike park with a "north shore" raised section, a tunnel and some rollers to whoop over like the big kid you wish you still were... Stunning forest trails with the added bonus of plenty of wild life, I had a group of deer cross the trail in front of me once. A variety of surfaces from , sand, rooty single track to stony fire road to keep it interesting.
