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 […]
(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 […]
(Last visited August 2020) This is a magical little place – a beautiful pond, a stream for paddling, hills for scrambling, trees for climbing, wildflowers and bulrushes… it’s beautiful. It’s really close to Holt – if you go past the turning to the high street, there’s a lay-by a little further down the road and […]
(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 […]
(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 […]
(Last visited August 2020) A lovely little wood off Whitlingham Lane – I must have driven past it on the way to Whitlingham so many times and not noticed it! Just over a mile round but definitely “undulating” to put it gently! Some quite steep climbs. Which, of course, my daughter loved and proceeded to […]
(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 […]
(Last visited March 2021) I adore this walk. It’s one of those places you feel is a bit of a secret and you don’t want to share with the world! But that would be uncharitable of me. There are so many options, although the uneven ground and mud in places doesn’t make it great for […]
