Walk Description

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE TO 13th AS IT IS NORFOLK RUN ON 6th
Please join me on a city walk starting at Norwich Railway Station.

We will walk along the river and then go up to Ketts Heights for a superb view over Norwich. We will then walk to the spot outside the prison for more views of the city. Walking down from there, we go up into Mousehold and walk through NR3 to Magdalen Street where we rejoin the river path at Fye Bridge.

As it is National Heritage Open Day we may take a brief stop at Pull’s Ferry and Dragon Hall as they are both open to the public.

We will walk through the Cathedral grounds, along King Street and arrive at the Rivolo Lounge for brunch. If you prefer, you can bring your own lunch to eat by the river.

The walk ends here just a few minutes walk from the station.
You need to indicate by messaging me or in the comments below if you would like me to reserve you a space for lunch.

Approximate Breaks: As the walk is short there won't be any breaks.

Walk specific health and safety: Please note there is some road walking along pavements and we will cross a couple of busy roads. There are no stiles/cattle on this route. At the time of recceing, all footpaths were clear and there were no thistles and brambles.

After the walk: The plan is to have brunch at the Revelo lounge for those who would like to join us. If you wish to come please indicate in the comments or message me directly so I can reserve a place.

Walk Description
Please join us for a lovely 10 mile circular walk combining beautiful coastal views, peaceful countryside, open fields, woodland and the stunning Sheringham Park.

We’ll start from the car park near the coast before making our way up Beeston Bump, where we’ll be rewarded with lovely views and a great viewpoint from the top.

From there, we’ll head inland through woodland and towards Stone Hill, continuing through fields and countryside. At around 3 miles, we’ll stop for a short 5 minute break before carrying on towards Sheringham Park.

We expect to arrive at Sheringham Park at around 6 miles, where we’ll take a 20 minute lunch break and have some time to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

After lunch, we’ll continue through Sheringham Park before making our way back towards the coast. The final part of the walk will take us along the cliff tops, with more beautiful sea views before we return to the car park.

Approximate Breaks: Please bring your own packed lunch and snacks as required, and plenty of water/drinks to stay hydrated throughout the walk.

• 3 miles - 10 minute drink/snack break
• 6 miles - 30 minutes lunch break

Walk specific health and safety:
We will need to cross the A148 twice during the walk. This is a busy road, so we’ll take extra care and cross together as a group.
The route is mainly flat, although there are around three small hills. I’ll wait at the top of each hill to allow everyone to catch up and regroup.
There was cattle on this route when I recced. If it rains in the days before the walk certain areas may be muddy. At the time of recceing, all footpaths were clear and there were no thistles and brambles.

After the walk: You are welcome to join us for a drink after the walk at The Crown, E Cliff, Sheringham, Cromer NR26 8BQ
