(Last visited July 2021) What a beauty! Beautiful snowdrops in the spring, beautiful place full stop. We had a stunning walk around here. Some gorgeous carpets of snowdrops in My Lady’s Wood and the area by the chapel. And a fantastic ancient oak and other cracking trees along the woodland walk. Lots of accessible paths […]
(Last visited January 2020) There are few places that tick all the boxes but this is one of them. I love it here. We have an amazing time every time we visit – it took us forever to walk round the last time as we had about 4000 stoppages for a 4-year-old to engage with […]
(Last visited February 2020) Norwich is a medieval city that retains cobbled streets, ancient buildings and half-timbered houses. Meandering through its centre is the River Wensum – a tributary to the Rive Yare which has historical significance as a means of transport for goods and trade.This is a short but pretty walk along the River […]
(Last visited February 2020) I have visited here before but only to the tearoom – in February 2020, I had the chance to visit the four acre garden too. What a little gem! This is a perfect stop along the A140 between Aylsham and Cromer. The Artisan Café is utterly fab, there is a gift […]
(Last visited August 2020) A beautiful little spot about 20 minutes or so out of Norwich in the pretty little village of Lyng. It’s a Norfolk Wildlife Trust nature reserve which also runs alongside the Norfolk Trails Wensum Way. The reserve itself isn’t large and is approximately one mile route around a former gravel pit […]
Introducing Penelope! 🐍 When we went to Poringland Woods a few weeks prior to visiting here, quite a few people mentioned the other woodland in Poringland… and Penelope! Penelope is a pebble snake that the community have lovingly created and added to over time – she’s pretty long now. The kids loved looking at all […]
(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 […]
(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 […]
