Sloughbottom Park is along the Marriott’s Way and is a great park for a family walk or play. It also has a BMX park. And we were treated to some cracking, late afternoon, autumn skies. We did a 1.5 mile walk across the park and hopped over the other side of the Marriott’s Way to […]
This is a charming, short walk for kids in six acres of beautiful gardens, with ponds, bridges and nature in abundance. Just south of Swaffham, the site also has waterways, bridges connecting the different areas, beautiful trees, shrubs and borders, a nature trail, tea room and facilities. It’s a lovely little place – lush and […]
(Last visited May 2021) If we go for a family walk, we usually try to explore lesser-known places. However, although we know Holkham well, a new nature trail was opened around the lake in April 2021 so we thought we’d pay it a visit! The trail is a 2.5 mile loop around the lake with […]
(Last visited June 2021) We saw this when looking up Visit North Norfolk’s dementia friendly walks, and realising the lavender was about to pop out, we headed up to Heacham at the weekend to have a look! We were still a tad early (end of June) but the lavender was starting to come out. Nevertheless, our […]
We went along this lovely short walk with friends and loved it. It’s a good length for toddlers and, although the path is quite stony in places, it’s nice and flat so most pushchairs should cope with it. The bluebell carpets in the woods were lovely and the woodland walk was gorgeous with the sun […]
I love this spot – one of the first places we discovered when she was a tot and it’s been much improved in recent years. Fabulous trees on the lead up to the Broad, accessible paths and beautiful views over the water. And ducks. The addition of the Hungry Otter van is great. It’s at […]
A short but perfectly formed little woodland near Loddon, just off the A146. Only about half a mile round, but great fun – trees to climb up, logs to walk over, leaves to kick, stumps to jump off and fairy doors! Despite visiting in mid-winter after lots of wet weather, we were surprised at how […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
