I had the loveliest afternoon traipsing around this route with my girl and dog. The highlights being some fantastic trees that were a small child’s dream for exploring, climbing in, climbing on, hanging off and peering inside! I didn’t have wheels – the small bridge crossing the stream from the car park looked a bit […]
What an amazing place Baconsthorpe Castle is. Really well preserved, and although climbing on the ruins is prohibited, it’s a fascinating placed little people. It also has a beautiful lake to sit down and have a picnic next to. It’s a moated and fortified 15th Century manor house. We loved reading about the history of […]
A lovely little walk, just a few miles north of Wroxham. It’s about a two mile round trip from the car park, down a (very quiet) country road. The views across the fields on the first stretch before hitting the boardwalk section were beautiful. You then walk around the most magical boardwalk, surrounded by trees […]
Horsey has a fantastic set of routes for all through the year. On my last visit, I squelched with my dog from the stunning Horsey Windpump to the viewing point at Horsey beach. That might be a tad too far with little ones (about a 3 mile-round trip) but an alternative route would be to […]
What a little gem! Filby Broad is small but perfectly formed. It’s such a good little walk for toddlers as it’s quite short, so not too far to carry them back if needed. Nice and flat for pushchairs too. It’s a little out and back walk with a lovely view over one of the broads […]
(Last visited March 2018) This is a great little pub walk and the The Recruiting Sergeant has a link to it on the ‘local walks’ section on their website. Some sections are next to roads so with my live wire I had to be super vigilant when we visited a few years ago, but the […]
This is a lovely Norfolk Wildlife Trust woodland reserve about eight miles out of Norwich. Brilliant for den building. Unfortunately the main insect around is Mr. Mosquito in the summer and we were bitten to bits so don’t forget the insect repellent (and keep an eye out for ticks). We took a pushchair in the […]
Bacton Wood is one of my favourite woodlands and we’ve been back a fair few times. There are lots of routes – the yellow route is the shortest and the one we’ve visited. There’s a sessile oak which makes a great perch for kids and dens everywhere! Beautiful autumn colours. It’s peaceful and pretty. Sadly […]
(Last visited June 2019) I absolutely love it here. Both can be found along a really accessible stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path and are fantastic if you’re into your nature. At Holme there is the nature reserve, with a coffee shop, toilets, car park and access to the beach. The coast path here has […]
(Last visited October 2019) A lovely little route. The first part of this walk is perfect for under 5s as it’s only about a mile in total. We followed the sign to the woodland garden which opens up into a lovely picnic space with benches and a chalk pit. The woodland area had lots of […]
