I love coming here with my little girl – this is a local walk for us and we visit here a lot. There have been huge improvements to the paths and gates over recent years and it’s now an ‘access for all’ route. However, I’ve had feedback that some pushchairs struggle on the stony path […]
(Last visited June 2020) I discovered these after getting a bit accidentally lost here on a run – and I’m so glad I did. We’ve been to the other side of the woods (Horsford side) but, dare I say, this side was even better. Lots of generally accessible paths for buggies (save a few bumpy […]
(Last visited June 2020) What a lovely walk! Beautiful sea views, but about a mile inland. Nice length of walk and the trail was nice and flat and accessible. Lots of the walk was in the shade too which was bliss on a hot day! Lots of paths to explore but we mostly stuck to […]
(Last visited July 2020) We had a cracking little walk here in summer 2020 – it’s a beautiful mix of undulating woodland paths with a riverside stretch, with a grassy common tucked in the middle! We could have sat by the river all day. Yet to visit in the winter months to see how it […]
(Last visited July 2020) A sweet little walk in Thorpe! I never knew this place existed. Most of this walk is a lovely grassy common but with an additional small river trail. It’s tucked away off the Yarmouth Road and it’s only small – about half an hour’s walk (if you don’t have a kid […]
(Last visited July 2020) We had a great time adventuring here! It’s about a 1.5 mile woodland walk, many wide paths for pushchairs which opens up into a large basin half-way through the walk. We spent a great deal of time here on an old rope swing and investigating the amazing tree roots! The stream […]
(Last visited August 2020)I knew there were some ruins somewhere around Saxlingham Nethergate but wasn’t sure where – then I saw them pop up on a post by my friend Neil from Escape Trails UK and he kindly plotted me a short route! Which I tweaked as I spotted that I could incorporate the meadow […]
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 […]
