(Last visited September 2020) I never tire of this place. Covid has meant the blue route we usually take around the lake is now closed for walkers and just open for fishing, so we had to take the longer red route for the first time… Although it is lovely, it’s not quite as magical as […]
(Last visited October 2020) We’re usually off finding lesser-known places, but I love returning to the summer honeypots in the autumn and winter when it’s quieter. So many people know Holkham well, but if you haven’t been for a while, the Lookout is a great addition – my husband has a disability and having some […]
Founded in the early 12th century, The Priory of Our Lady of Thetford was one of the largest and most important monasteries in medieval East Anglia. There are extensive remains – you’re not allowed to climb on the walls, but it’s a fantastic site. On the north and east perimeter there is a hardcore path […]
(Last visited October 2020) On the day we visited here, we needed a short walk for little legs and this one mile loop was perfect – it has a mix of everything… flat surfaces, beautiful lake and river views, ponies and trees to climb (full disclosure… no actual strawberries)! Two very happy little girls who […]
(Last visited October 2020) Possibly the most magical wood I’ve ever been to – so many hollow trees, we lost count! Our hypothesis that it was a fairy wood was confirmed when we found the fairy window and door inside one of the trees 🧚♀️🧚♂️ The leaves are starting to turn here and I think […]
(Last visited September 2020) I’ve known of Kelling Heath for years but didn’t realise that a) it had so many walking trails and b) that you didn’t have to be staying there to visit them! I wanted to meet some friends with a 6-month old baby so wanted to find somewhere that had facilities – […]
(Last visited August 2020) I’ve had a lot of chats with people recently about wheelchair accessible walks and am determined to find more. I’ve been directing people to the Norfolk Trails Access Tested routes – and this is one of them, as I wanted to give it a go (you can find it under the […]
Burgh Castle – one of my favourite finds from winter 2017! It’s been access tested by Norfolk Trails and is therefore accessible for pushchairs and wheelchair users around the perimeter, plus it’s a great place to explore for little legs as you can climb up into the 3rd century ruins! When we went there was a […]
I’ve been meaning to go here for ages and I’m so glad we did eventually visit! It’s a great set of managed trails – one of which is an access-tested trail with good surfaces. There are three trails to choose from – we did a mash-up of all three and there are some lovely beauty […]
I love having “something to do” on a walk and during lockdown we used our Seek app every day to identify plants and insects. Having crunched my way through many a walk over the last few weeks, I decided to create a little autumn nuts and seeds challenge for my little girl – so thought […]
