(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 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 June 2021) I absolutely adore this place, I’ve been going since I was a kid and it was one of the places we really missed during the first lockdown. It’s just so rich with wildlife – so many butterfly species in the summer we lost count. If you’re into your birds it’s amazing […]
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 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 […]
Founded in the early 12th century, The Priory of Our Lady of Thetford was one of the largest and most important monasteries in medieval East Anglia. There are extensive remains – you’re not allowed to climb on the walls, but it’s a fantastic site. On the north and east perimeter there is a hardcore path […]
(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 […]
I’ve been meaning to go here for ages and I’m so glad we did eventually visit! It’s a great set of managed trails – one of which is an access-tested trail with good surfaces. There are three trails to choose from – we did a mash-up of all three and there are some lovely beauty […]
