Willows fill the lower areas and good stools of hazel are also found along with silver birch. The understorey of laurel, holly and rhododendron provide all year cover and privacy. In the southern section of the woodland a number of mature pines tower over the other trees.

The rural setting of Red Calf Wood provides a home to a variety of wildlife that forages across surrounding open fields and shelters in the privacy of the wood during the daylight hours. Red Deer are seen across Norfolk. These are the largest wild animals in the United kingdom and the Norfolk Red Deer genetically become the heaviest.

Otters are known to inhabit the larger area of woodland that surrounds Red Calf Wood. If you are lucky you may see one on his way to a nearby lake using the seasonal stream.

Muntjac deer can often be seen at dawn and dusk.

A woodland that is packed with a wonderful variety of trees and shrubs all flanking a seasonal stream. These riparian areas are vital for wildlife.

The woodland is accessed from the highway via a good stoned farm track. From the main gate the track is a solid hard covered track to Wool Wood. There are no public footpaths through the wood ensuring privacy.

This wood provides the opportunity for a new owner to engage in family forestry. Managing a mixed woodland and learning bushcraft skills is a great way to escape modern life. Camping or building woodland hides and all sorts of other outdoor activities can be done here.

Red Calf Wood is named after the red deer that inhabit the Norfolk countryside. It has been suggested that there are now more deer in the British countryside than at any time since the Tudor period.
Here in Norfolk we are lucky to have five species regularly found across the county; all are very different and each has its own lifestyle and history. The majestic red deer is the largest and is one of only two species that are native to the UK. The red deer of East Anglia are some of the finest beasts in Britain, and Norfolk stags are often some 20 per cent bigger than elsewhere in the country. Broadland 'reds' are more than a match for their Highland cousins, and it should really be 'Monarch of the Fen' rather than the Glen.

This area of Norfolk has been preserved by many large estates who have over the years carefully managed the land and especially woodland. Grand country houses are found at Blickling, Felbrigg, Mannington and Wolterton, all of which are important local tourist attractions and have ensured the area is not blighted by development.

Red Calf Wood forms part of a much larger area of woodland extending to over 130 acres called Warren House Wood. The landscape forms part of a gently undulating predominantly arable agricultural area characterised by large fields with small settlements and large areas of woodland. Whilst none of the woodland is designated as ancient woodland the ordinance survey records of 1814 show this area had been afforested by that time.

The Marriott's Way runs just north of the woodland between Norwich and Aylsham, Norfolk, England. Its total length is 24.6 miles (39.5 km). It has a mixture of surfaces; tarmac, compacted gravel and earth and can be used on foot cycle or horseback. This gives the new owner travelling from Norwich or Aylsham a green and tranquil way of visiting their wood.
