I’m falling in love with the Brecks a bit at the moment and this was somewhere we’ve wanted to visit for a long while! Knettishall Heath is a SSSI and there are six trails to choose from, ranging from 1.5 – 2.5 miles in distance. We opted for the long riverside trail which was 2.5 […]
We had the loveliest walk here recently. There are so many paths to explore around here – unfortunately I underestimated the distance and my five-year-old ended up walking nearly four miles!

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 […]

Aside from being really special to me (it’s where my husband proposed and where my distant relatives lived for generations!), it is steeped in history with both castle and priory ruins, but also has some great […]
