Sloughbottom Park Play Area

Sloughbottom Park & Wensum Nature Reserve

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 […]

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.

Southrepps Circular

It’s a 3.5 mile Norfolk Trails circular walk for the whole route (that’s a great one for older kids), or for little legs you can do a shorter version and just explore the common and the Warren. The common is boardwalk and halfway through […]
