Burlingham Woods

Burlingham Woods

(Last visited August 2020) My happy place! Situated between Norwich and Great Yarmouth, this is a beautiful woodland that extends far and wide, connecting Burlingham to local villages across field paths and therefore making the trails ideal to explore further as your child grows. There is a 1.5 mile loop which is accessible for pushchairs […]

Sculthorpe Moor

(Last visited July 2018) We found Sculthorpe Moor in summer 2018 and it’s very access-friendly. It’s all board-walk apart from a short section at the beginning. Wheelchairs, pushchairs and double pushchairs will be absolutely fine. It has a nice mix of landscapes and features: woodland, rivers, streams, bridges, dykes, benches, information points, scrubland and fields. […]

Ladybelt Country Park

(Last visited October 2019) Ladybelt Country Park is one of my go-to, favourite local-to-Norwich walks.  It is a great location all times of the year – a fabulous mix of woodland and grassland, sculptures and an old icehouse.  It’s brilliant for a nice dog walk too. The Park has been carefully nurtured back into a […]

Harrison’s Wood

(Last visited November 2019) We first went to Harrison’s Wood in Sprowston in autumn 2018 and it was bursting with different colours – it’s a really diverse woodland and really close to the city. It has woodland surfaces, but they didn’t seem too bad after the rain and apart from a few rooty patches, pushchairs […]

Foxley Woods

(Last visited May 2021) This little beauty is mainly known for its beautiful bluebells in May, but we’ve had lovely walks through the woods here in at various times of the year. It’s a Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve – a very straightforward loop through the woodland and back along a track. There was little by […]

The UEA Broad

(Last visited August 2020) This is an absolutely stunning walk! So many different routes to explore off it too. In 2020, the UEA created an official set of waymarked trails to follow called ‘Active Campus’ for students and visitors to explore the campus and learn about its history and heritage, with each trail varying in its […]

Brandon Country Park

(Last visited June 2019) LOVED IT! This had been recommended to me again and again and I’m so pleased we finally made it there! We tagged it onto a mini break to Center Parcs as it’s only 5 mins down the road and I was in need of a walk away from the crowds. It’s […]

Castle Acre

Castle Acre is a little gem of a place in West Norfolk and I can’t recommend it highly enough! 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 […]

Ranworth

This is a beautiful place and perfect for a family walk at any time of the year… but it comes alive in the summer!  I’ve been coming here since I was a child and I never get bored of it.  There is much on offer and I am seeing it with a new set of […]
