Knettishall Heath is a 91.7-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Knettishall in Suffolk. A larger area of 176 hectares is the Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve. The open landscape created by our Bronze Age ancestors 4,000 years ago had changed very little until the 20th century when forestry and modern farming transformed large parts of The Brecks. Knettishall Heath still retains a sense of what this ancient landscape must have looked like in the past.

There is a bridge here over the water so you can continue along Peddars Way. There is also access to the river (easier to access from the Knettishall side). It is a great and safe place to let your dogs into the river for a play. We take our dogs here for their first paddle

Freehouses are usually a good bet for a lunch stop. Convenient location, if by a bit of a busy road.

Watch out for the cattle grids at each end of the heath road, they really rattle you if you hit them at speed!

The Well cafe in Hopton, just down the road, is open on Thursdays to Saturdays if you’re looking for an alternative.

Coffee and cakes available from a van on site and benches to sit and rest at!

Knettishall Heath nature reserve covers about 430 acres (174 hectares) and also includes woodland and riverside meadows, as well as large areas of heath. In season, there is a visitor welcome and cafe van in the car park every Wed-Sun plus bank holidays 10am-4pm. If you go early in the morning, you're likely to find the ponies grazing much closer to the road.
