West Stow Country Park

Dipping our toes over the border into Suffolk! What a great place. We were looking for a cheap afternoon out – this was spot on. We opted for the fab Beowulf and Grendel Trail (1.5km). There are six large themed carved sculptures and information boards that capture the story as well as info about the […]

Knettishall Heath

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 […]

Buckenham Woods

Absolutely beautiful little spot. Although I’ve seen pushchairs in the main part of the wood, I would suggest a baby carrier for the bluebell wood section. We came here when my little girl was a toddler and had a lovely time – it was stunning. There is a small car park off Wood Lane but […]

Spixworth

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 […]

Dunston Common

(Last visited December 2019) We had a great time adventuring here in winter 2019 – so close to Norwich and I never knew it was there! It starts on a small green with little play area and throne! There is a small woodland walk with a little stream running alongside it (it’s not that clearly […]

Danby Wood

This is a beautiful, yet tiny, wood and is a fantastic short walk for toddlers. It was one of my first discoveries in 2017 when we started exploring. The main path gets muddy in winter, but during dry, summer months a pushchair will be able to handle it (although you’ll have to pull it up […]

Sisland Carr

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 […]

Belmore Woods

What a gorgeous little woodland! Muddy as heck and no clearly defined route, so not one of recommend for pushchairs at the moment. But if you’re local to Norwich, a lovely place to explore with a nice pair of wellies! It’s a short walk from Dussindale Recreation Ground, which is where we parked – there’s […]

Bawdeswell Heath

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 […]

Barton Broad

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 […]
